2002

HEADMASTER'S REPORT involvement in all these activities, oW" young men are led towards self-discovery and maturity. The 'hidden' roof over these pillars must surely be a spiritual one. Without morals, beliefs, a personal credo, all that we strive to achieve will be hollow. The long tenn success of 2002 will have to be judged in 2022. In the short term, though, let's see how Wynberg measures up in the four R's of a successful school! In terms of RESULTS, we can certainly look back at a successful year in all four pillars. Detailed successes are chronicled elsewhere in the magazine and we can certainly be proud of all the achievements of Wynberg men in so many areas of school life. Success indicates talent, perseverance and an ability to cope with pressure. As a school, we cherish oW" winners because they display all these attributes. What cannot be recorded are the myriad personal achievements that don't make .the newspapers, or a newsletter, or the school magazl1_1e; those instances ...mere a pupil polishes up an English essay; or practises more examples in maths, or toils away in his own time in the cricket nets perfecting a shot. These young men are all winners. Our new climbing wall sums this up aptly. The sense of achievement felt when one reaches the top on a self-chosen route, in one's own time, is a valuable lesson in Life. There are no accolades, no prizes, no newspaper articles-just a pride ID personal goals achieved. The second R refers to RESOURCES. At Wynberg we can justifiably be proud of our facilities. Full credit must be given to our Governing Body, its subcorrunittees and the PTA for managing and enhancing the fantastic facilities of Wynberg. Maintenance of resources such as ours is a Herculean task. The hostels, the swirruning pool, the fields, the school building which has over 800 exuberant teenagers running through it daily, all demand time and money. Special mention must be made of two aspects of the school-flowers and paint. The corrunittee of gardeners has ensured that our campus looks spectacular. Our fynbos gardens improve by the year and we enjoy showing them ofT to our visitors. Special mention, too, must be made of all those parents and boys who come out over weekends to

I commend the Editorial Corrunittee under Mrs Sheila Williamson for compiling this record of Wynberg 2002. It is a record of a year with its highs and lows, its successes and failures. It would be difficult to imagine a successful school without acknowledging the role of the teaching staff. Their experience, professionaLis~n, competence, enthusiasm and empathy are essential ingredients in the moulding of boys to young men. I commend them. The backup tearn of the Governing Body, many parental subcommittees, the administrative staff and the grounds stalT all ensW"e that the teaching stalT has the resoW"ces and the time to put every eITort into the prime purpose of a school which is ensuring tha.t oW" young men will one day be able to contnbute positively to their society. At the end of the day, a school must be judged by what our young men achieve when they leave school. Are they caring individuals? Do they persevere in the bad times? Do they remain steadfast to what they believe is right? Do they aim for personal bests? Can they work with others? In order to reach these lofty goals, our school programme has been built on four pillarsacademic, culture, sport and service. Through

paint classrooms and corridors. Flowers and fresh paint are important. Likl: our learners who greet visitors to the school wannly, they send a vital sign that the school is a proud one. Our facilities have been enhanced in a l1lunber of significant areas. The climbing wall has already been mentioned and the cricket nets on the Wynberg I louse Oval have been completely rc:vamped With a new sightscreen, and first class nets, cricketers at Wynberg can be very proud of their facilities. Generous contributions from parents have ensured that our squash players can look forward ne>."!season to refurbished courts at the 'old' squash courts. The school has accepted Pharos Medical Insurance as the major school sponsor. A substantial three year sponsorship will be spent on heating the swinuning pool so that this facilit can then be used all year round. Without RE LA TTONSHIPS there would be no school [n the not too distant past, schools genemIl) remained beyond the scrutiny of parents, sheltering behind the cUucation department, corporal punishment and the academic requirements of universities. No\ the buzzwords are accountability and tran parency. The Internet ruld email have certainly increased comrnuJ1Jcation bet\\een the school ruld ])<'lrents Nothing, however, beats the personal touch. I [opefull) everyone 111 the Wynberg frunily acknowledges that courtesy, respect and fnendliness are features of our school.

[f they pass muster, these three R's add up to that most vital R: REPUTATION. A reputation is not made by marketing pamphlets, but by word of mouth. People establish a reputation. The mrumers and demeanour of our young men establish our reputation. Parents who see our vision, and actively help us work towards it., enhance our reputation. A reputation is not established in one year. It needs years of layers before it can be seen and identified. [thank all-teachers, parent, old boys, young men of Wynberg-who have added to our reputation this year. 2002 also sa\ the birth of a new concept-the Wynberg Campus of Schools. This is a unique concept whereby we are trying to combine the best of single-sex schooling with the best of coeducational schooling. At quarterly meetings, the four governing bodies grapple with issues conml0n to all four schools and it will not be long before we see tangible results. Sharing of facilities, leachers and administration staff are all in the pipeline. Pupils are already mixing in cultural and sporting spht:res. Our schools have been strengthened by this interaction. Now for 2003. There will Ix: new I:hallenges and new changes. May all of us in the Wynberg family meet these challenges with confidence so that we Crul continue to turn out qualIty young men who arc capable, and willing. to contribute to a vibrant South J\friCrul society.

• As Mr Clyde Broster teaches the Grade Il A-level English, the other classes are served by Mr Baxter and Mr Fiskc, who is another ncw part-timer. • Mr Herbelt is very experienced and teaches Maths. I le coaches crickeL, has been a class teacher and is more than the usual part-time educator. He \\~ll not be here nel\.1 year but we thank him for his efforts and wish him well in the future.

There have heen several departures' • Mr Polden no langer teaches Afrikaans, but remains involved on the rugby field. • Mr HartJey and Mr le Fleur lell for pastures new. • After some years helping in the library, Mrs Leaver has lell for a busy retirement aller a trip to Europe. • Mrs van Heerden may be leaving physically, but ~II continue teaching French to some of our boys at Springfield. • Mr Revington has left for a full-tune hockey post. lie ~II be sorely missed as co-coach on the hockey fields. • Mr Ray Tipper left to teach English and Drama at a co-ed school. His lateral thil1king, il1llovative and dynamic teaching methods brought his lessons alive. He was able to extend learners beyond the nonn. His musical ability enlivened many an occasion, especially the stair productions, variety concerts and the major productions. • Mr Herbert, as mentioned above, will also be leavlllg. • A great loss to the school this year is the impending departure of Mr Johan Laten. He was involved in many areas of school life-not only as an Afrikaans teacher. He was in charge of the prefects, swinuning, UI6 hockey and a cricket Wynberg

team. His input in the drama field was superb-[rom OBE to plays to natural projection o[ his voice \\~thout a microphone (to the envy of many boys). He is a true role model to boys who need his integrity, honesty and 'opregtheid'. May he be happy-we ~II certainly miss him greatly.

Our current concern is the health of Mr Inglis. He was in Somerset Hospital, home brieOy, admitted to Groote Schuur and is now home again. Wc trust he ~ll soon be completely recovered. Our best \\ Ishes go to him. 1 would like to end on a positive note, which is the inclusion of a photograph of the headmaster together with two past headmasters--Mr Bruce ?robyn and Mr Rowan Algie. This photograph was taken aller the Founder's Day ceremony.

Moharruned lias helped mally of our students through this tough and strenuous matnc year. Lie: Who could forget when Weeks was introduced to Moliammed on rugby tour? Kevin: Just like you guys, Mohammed will be rememberoo forever. Some of us know him bener than others, some of us better than ourselves (BIFEL). But, hey, at the end of the day, we're all brothers. Lyle' Wynberg itself is so hard to define. It is not the teacners, not the boys, not the thousands who have gone before us. It isn't the grounds or our Astro. It's something else.

Powerful words--and so apt. I look at all of youthere is a world of possibility and potential rullongst you. Infinite talent. Infinite hope.

All 0 us here today have different emotions. The Grade li's think that the matrics are quite madwhy on earth are they upset at leaving school? They don't understand ... yet. You parents have mLxed feeLings-sadness at the tact that your alert little boy whom you packed off 12 years ago to school in school pants and sandals, clutching his plastic box of peanut butter sandwiches, is now a hulking yOWlg man who talks-albeit monosyllabically and in grunts, and is now about to embark on the next adventure in life. The emotions of teachers are similar to parents. We are also wondering where the time has gone. We await with baited breath, to see how these young men w111 twn out. A high school career is not dissimilar to the growth of the Chinese bamboo tree. The earth for this tree is carefully prepared and plante(!. For the first four years all the growth takes placc undergrowld and nothing is visible above the ground except a bulb with a small shoot. Suddenly from the timl year (matric year?) the shoot takes otT and astounds everyone by growing to a height of 30 metres. So there is hope for you parents and us teachers. J\ll those years of wat~ng, feeding, t~king, nurtunng, advising, and caJohng are now destmed to bear fruit. Unlike tllat Chinese bamboo tree, some of your sons might take a little longer lO fruit, but I have no doubt that it will be worth the wruL

beru:

It is appropriate here to pay tribute to the parents Md teachers. I can think of no finer way than to quote tlle story of Charles Plum, a l!S ~avy ~~ter pilot during the Vietnam War. Ou his 7)~ rru~SI?n, his plane was shot down by a surface to .alT lluss~le. He survived by ejecting wld ~arachutmg ~ehmd cnem lines. He spent six years III a North VIetnam prison. When he retwned to the USA, he was in a restaur<Ult with his wife, when a man-who obviously recognised him-started speaking to him. "How do you know who 1 run?" asked Plum. "1 was the guy who packed your parachute. guess il worked."

We all need someone lO pack our parachutes-in the case of our yOWlg men, it is parents and teachers. We do not always get to thank them-but what an important job you all do! The alles who really have mixed up emotions here toda are you chaps in front. I look at you and 1 think of the poem AlIgruies of IlIlIocence by William 8lake (he also wrote 'Tiger, Tiger burning bright / in the forests of the night'). Lu Auguries of Innocellce, he wrote: Wynberl:

School is more than training the mind-it is not only what we learn, but how w~ ~earn. You have been given wnpteen oppOrtl~l1llJes to .make a difference; you have been gIven experlence m decisions-which mayor may not turn out to be good. In the safe practice ground of school, you have been encouraged to take responsibility for your 0\'1" results and for your OW11 beliefs. Wynberg has given you the capacity to think for yourselves, to question, to search and to demand what you think is just. In the words of Alfred, Lo.rd Telmyson, your education has given you the capacIty "to strive, to seek, to fmd and not to yield." As one of your parachute packers, 1 tllank you matrics for piloting our great school through thIS year. You were unequivocal in your desire at your Grade II Crullp to make a diITerence. You haveand I thrulk you for tllis. No doubt you will wish me to challenge the current Grade lI's to carry on the fme traditions of Wynberg. 111rulk you, Chris, for your leadership You have given your aIJ to the job of leadillg the school during 2002. 1 know how much emotion and energ ou have put in. Thank you prefects, class captains, la all of you who put passion into the buddy system, and to aU who tried to make a differcnce-I cOllUllend you. Now it is almost over. It is time for that Chinese bamboo tree to start growing. Except for your English exams, this is the last time you will all be togetller as a group.

r urge you not to lose touch-both with one rulother and the school. Remember to laugh about the good and bad times at school. Let this beautiful and wonderful school grow in your memof)'-and when you think about us ill the years ahead, come back and visit us. Nelson Mandela, in his Inaugural Address, said: "We often ask ourselves, 'Who anl I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually who are you not to be? You are a child afGod. We are bom to manifest the glory of God within us. It is not in some of us, il is in all of us." On behalf of your parachute packers, on behalf of the wider community of the Wynberg fanlil , on behalf of the thousands of Old Boys who have galle before us, I thank you for your contribution and look forward to welcoming you back in future years as Wynberg Old Boys.

seeing future competitors coming together to entertain a very appreciative audIence. To me, Grease was my high moment. Seeing the likes of Stephen Jubber et al doing what they do best, and UIe rest of tile school coming together to pay them tribute, will always bring a tear to my eye. It had a wonderful atmosphere and spint about it-one which I am confident will never again be achieved We were ullique. Having said that, I would like to Ulank my matric class and m prefects-I owe you so much. J finnly believe that friendship is the best investment rulYon~ can make. In that case I will leave school a rich man indeed. There has never been a dull moment"quile impossible from a group such as you, my friends".

When [ look back at a year such as the one we have had, I am almost moved to tears when I realise that it is now all over. Leaving Wynberg is not leaving a school, it is almost the same as leaving home as we count ourselves fommate to be part of the Wynberg brotherhood However, we must move onto the next levt.:l, but Illark my words, we will never forget what Wy1lbcrg has done for us nor the friends and home it has provided. On personal renection, my final year has been unforgeltabk. If I am asked, "What was the hIghlIght of your year?", I will say that they should have asked what the highligh~ were. For there have been JI11lumerable, wonderful memories. Some, however, were more memorable than those other Ullforgettable ones. Pioneering a new event on the calendar was UIe Grey music concert. They do say that music is one of the universal languages. Well, proof hes therein. It was a glorious experience

where there is a vertical class system. I suppose this could be viewed as an extension of the buddy system as you and your matrics will always be 'Big' brother to everyone. Do not think that because we have lell school we care less about it, I think that we would tend to care more. Whenever you have need of us, we will always be ready to support you. Good luck! And all the best! To end ofl~ I would like to quote something to my fellow matrics as we go our separate ways:

.. ever thought I'd fee/like this Strange to be alone Bul we '/I be together Calved in stone... To the rest of my Wynberg Moras" ... and thank you.

SERVICE "The smallest deed is better than the mightiest mvention" is something that I leamt at school. It was also the underlying principle of Matthew Hogarty and his cOl1unittee this year as they managed the COlfununity ervice portfolio at Wynberg Boys' High School. The aim of he committee was to challenge all young men at the school to complete one class school project, and one class community project. Opportunities were also provided for individuals to get involved in community work. The total percentage of Wynberg boys' involvement far e ceedcd our expectations! Class school projects included painting their classrooms, cleaning and painting the garage (uthletJcs storeroom), painting the fountain, starting gar<kns on the bank opposite the Art Room and litter cleanups around the school campus. Class community projects involved collecting litter in Wynberg Park, Maynardville and on Fish Hock beach. Some classes worked at the SPCA, and building houses in Khayelitsha and Masiphumelele (Grade Il's mostly). Many of our senior pupils worked as marshals for fun rides and at the Two Oceans Marathon. A number of bo s spent time helping at school fu.ncllons and working as officials and assistant spons coaches, umpires and managers. TIlere are, howev..:r, many individuals who have worked tlIelessl and have not been recognised or thanked. Wc have become involved with the Habitat for Ilumanity organisation, and have started to help homeowners with the construction of their houses.

Wynberg

The organisation of the building progranune and materials is done by the Habitat Youth Representative, Grant Edkins, and the labour is provided by Wynberg boys and pupils from a number of other schools! The only limitation and logistical problem has been finding lills to the sites. We are very graCeful to Nagel's Taxis for providing free ta.xis on two occasions to Khayelitsha and Masiphumelele. It is the dream and aim of the new Committee to see this school complete a house! We will be involved with the international "blitz build" in JWle 2003 when students from around the world will attempt to build about 30 houses in one week. The committee was led by Matthew Hogarty who worked w1Selfishly and consistently throughout the year. He has left a legacy for others in future years. We are truly grateful for his contribution to the Service Pillar at this school. He was inspirational, fair and determined in his work. Mention must also be made of some of the Class Representatives. Their job was to communicate with their classes and Iiase with their class and the Service Committee. The effectiveness of the class had much to do with the motivation of the Service Representative. We thank and appreciate those leaders who were always present at meetings on Friday afternoons, always remembered to remind their class about the appeals, meticulously recorded each boy's records and were reliable at all times pecial mention must be made of MIs Diedericks, who persistenLly motivated her class to respond to appeals. The management and success of Llle work depended on people: Llle leaders; the homeroom teachers; and L1leintrinsic motivation of each oung man. I would like to thank all the parents who responded so generously to the many appeals during the year. Wc do not act on each request that we receive, and try as hard as possible to spread the appeals out on the year planner, but some are so Llrgent and desperate that we feel we need to oblige. Thank you for the clothing, furniture, plants, food, money ..... The value of involvement i.n conununity work is not quantifiable. The attitudes of man have been changed alld stereotypes have been challenged. There is now all awareness in some of our futurc leaders of just how privileged we are, and how great are the needs of others. M,s C Hodgkif1wn

REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL OF LEARNERS Since joining this school I have been involved with the RCL, which used to be called the SRC, and before that the group of class captains. Whatever name they were called, they were the leaders of the school. Boys saw the position as onc of training as future prefects. There have been fme leaders of the group-Rash ay Magan, Sam Peurson, Simon FreemanUe and Tim West Rashay was the first of the umovators to implement his pmctical ideas; Sam quietly but finnly saw that the right things were aclueved and accomplished; Simon was more dynamically assertive (wtlllst working well with his long-tenn friend Sakkie), and Tim has lcd and controlled a group whieh became the thinkers and supporters of the new system--a vertical system.

REPRESENT

This means that the RCL as Wynberg has experienced it is no more, although it is necessary bv law. So what wil] be the function of the 200] l~(_i group Wider Daniel Caimcross, Ste\\aJ1 Botha and Paul White? Mostly that of peer counsellors, to help learners in an increasingly difficult world. The 'buddy' system whereby a matric pupil has assisted a Grade 8 learner to adjust to high school wiU be replaced by the automatic care m the vertIcal system. To aU the matrics who, for Ule past SIX ,cars have set good examples of what a 'W)11berg man' IS all about-my thanks. My appreciation goes to all Ule past class captaulS who assisted in a myriad of ways to help the teachers and see that the school ran smoothl) I am grateful to you all. Mrs S Willialll.)·oll

LIBRARY REPORT Librarian:

Mrs Veronica van Nimwegen

2002 Library Monitors: Kyle Haytread, Matthew Gore, Riaz Badroodien, Harnish Williams, Gareth B1oor, Mathew Hull, Martin Fischer, Taurean lsaacs The library has been running smoothly with no major changes. Our monitors work at breaks and Kyle Haytread, our head monitor, has worked many extra hours after school. Kyle matriculates this year and we thank him for his dedication. Matthew Gore ....111 Lake over his poSition. A very big thank you to all the monitors who give their time to be of service to the school. Also special thanks to our 'moms' Helen Smit, Laura Williams, Pat Rogers and Norma Questiaux, who come in on a weekly basis to cover the new books, repair old ones and tidy the shelves. Your help is greaUy appreciated We remalll busy throughout the day as the boys use the lIbrary during their 'free' IS periods The garden in the library quad IS looking lovely and tlounshing under the attentive eye of Laura WIlllams Considerably fewer books (360) have been purchased this year 0\"1ng to the rising cost and the need to replace uUes, as many disappear.

To celebrate World Literacy Day a book sdector from Edulis came to advise our Grade 8's and gave some entertaining book reviews. Many of her recommendations were in stock and, if not, were purchased. Fantasy is still the most popular genre with older Wynberg boys and war stories follow closely. Keep reading!

BLOOD CLINIC For many years Wynberg Boys' has provided the opportunity for pupils and staff to donate much needed blood to the Western Province Blood Transfusion Services. Four times a year a clinic is set up in tl1e Bill Bowden Pavilion and boys are able to wander across the rugby lield, missing a lesson in tl1e process, and donate blood. On average, we give 40-50 units of blood., from donors who must be 17 years old and weigh at least 50 kgs. Our star donor is Mr Barry Greenwood, who has donated 107 muts, mostly at the school clinjc. Quite an achievement, which our boys would do well to emulate!

It IS always encouraging to see how enthusiastic and dedIcated our First Aid team is. There is a sense of service and commitment amongst them that is seldom seen elsewhere. Whether involved on the side of the sports field or dealing with accidents that occur at school, it is reassuring to know that Wynberg has a group of qualified., hardworking individuals \\ho can deal with almost any situation In the first tenn our major event was Sports Day. All wcrll well considering the heat (Jr). There was only the odd scratch and exerted muscle casualty. We aJso assisted at the arumal Paarl Triangular for the first Urne The wuller season was more challenging this ~I!ar smce the rugby \\as split between Claremont Cncket Club and the school sports fields. TIus meant that \\e were spread more thinly but thanks to our recruIts joining First Aid this year and the ambulance from Red Cross, we came through with flying colours ThIs year \\c had 21 boys quaLIfy for FIrst Aid courses at vanous levels from the South Africrul Red

Cross Society and Professional Emergency Care. This is an exceptional number of boys and reflects the success of First Aid this year. It was a pleasure to witness our First Aid team, led responsibly by Ernile Gerber, provide an excellent service this year.

INTERACT Under the capable leadership of president Matthew Hogarty and vice-president Chris Doidge, the lnteract Club had a very successful year. Serving, for the first time, under the wing of the school's Servi~e Committee, our particular challenge was to organIse various fund-raising drives for charity as a part of the school service portfolio. Notable events that we organised included helping Rotaract present the "Uncle Paul's Christmas P~ies" f?r lUlderprivileged children, the Easter Egg drive dUflIlgthe first tenn; marshalling for the Two Ocean~ Marathon during April, the "Spare Change" campaign for Friends Day Care Centre and our major drive, the rumual "Big Walk". '

Major beneficiaries included Cape Town Child Welfare (over R7 000), CWESI night school (RS 000), Friends Day Care Centre, St Luke's Hospice and the Reach for a Dream Foundation. Our conunittee kept in contact with the Interact Clubs of the other schools in our area, attending nearly all of their presidential inductions. We also tried (with limited success) to correspond with several Interact Clubs in California. Our thanks to Wynberg Rotary Club (our sponsoring club) for all their support and encouragement, to Darren Grainger, our silver badge service prefect, who coordinated our efforts with those of the Service Conunittee, and to all the Class Service Reps.

LADIES ASSOCIATION 2002 proved to be an extremely busy year and I nervously started my spell as Chairlady. ill spite of the frantic pace at which the year started: I had a wonderful team of ladies on the commIttee and because of their total support, everything went well and we all enjoyed ourselves doing It. Circulars were sent out at the end of 200 I, appealing to parents for help u~ the various areas. of the school. 1l1e response to this was overwheu:nmg in all aspects and where help could not be given., donations were given for flowers, cakes,.etc. There was always more than enough cake sent lil and even though we worked on a roster usmg a Grade each time we needed help, we were unable to use aU the mothers who onered. However, we do smcerely thank you and hope that you will still contu1Ue to put your names down. First ternl is nonnally very busy and started oIT with a PTA talk and Goveming Body elections, the Ladies Association AGM, Prize Giving, Matric Evening (talk by a guest speaker fol.lowed b¥ tea and sandwiches), New Parents Evenm&, Neighbours Cocktail Party, Old Boys Cocktail Party, and Athletics Day, all in the space of six weeks. Although the second tenn had only a few ~vents, these wae major ones. We started oIT :V1th ~e major production, Grease, with tea and cone~ beUlg served each evening at interval and a cocktail party on the Gala Evening. Aller this c.ame the Gr.ey weekend starting with a Music Everung at the CI~y Hall. followed by a cocktail party, and th~n the big da of sport with ruckshop and lunches bemg served to all the staIT. The third tenn, which is usually fairly quiet, proved to be anythulg but. We start~d ofr with qne Act Plays, Governing Body Meetmg, Governlllg Report Back Meeting, Founders' Day and M~tric Evening. In addition to this, there were I? ~venmgs where snacks were provided for a fundnuslllg from Wynberg Old Boys for various projects at the school. The fourth tenn started with snacks wld drinks for the 2002 Prefect Parents Evening, followed by Valedictory, and new Prefects' Induction, opening of the new clirnbmg wall, Grade 8 One Act Plays, New Boys' Evenmg, Art Exhibiti~n, Budget. P~esentation, and ended oIT with the Ladies AssocJatJon end-ofyear function to thank everyone for their éontribution during the year. Mea Lashbrooke and her team of helpers have once again worked extremely hard sorting wld sending goods for recycling. . We ~o ~ all ~e members of this team for their dedlcallon to a Job that is really hard work (and not very glamorous). In all, about R7 500 for glass, paper, cans and cardboard was collected. Cardboard is now being recycled at school and is proving to be very protitable. Magazines bring m more per kilogrwn than ordinary paper, so we appeal to you to send Ul all old and unwanted magazines. After many years of orgwlismg and controUulg r~cyclmg, h?th at the Junior wld High Schools, Mea \V1llbe handmg over to Linda Holt, who takes over in 2003. Very Wynberg

many thanks, Mea. The sports ruckshops are also a vital part of the school and the hockey and cricket tuckshops were so efficiently nUl by Menill Haley this past ear. Your ex1.remely hard work in this regard is greatly appreciated, Menill. Witll regard to Ist Team Cricket, a word of thanks should go here to Terry Watkms-Baker for her contribution to the lunches served to the teams each home match. Because of the replanting of the rugby tieIds we did not have to organise rugby tuckshops tllis year and tllese were done at Constantia by the Cricket Club. Wc were once again lucky to have such talt!nted mothers doing our flower arrangements in the foyer wld the headmaster's office. We reaUy had some wonderful displays and this was all so smoothly nUl by Terry Watkins-Baker. Thanks, Terry. Of course, most of life at Wynberg revolves around the tuckshop which is so important to many of us and the very importrult person behind this is Sue Crone. Sue has been an mtegral part of our committee wld is always there to help with ordering food, arrangulg for !in.en, crockery, etc. and her help and adVice have been mvaluable. On the other hand, we also know that our boys will never go hungry with tlle food prepared and served by the teams of hard-working mothers. Om grateful thanks to ou, Sue, and the tuckshop moms. Each year our gard.ens look better. and bener and this is thanks to Tnsh Hutton-Squlre and all tlle volunteer mothers and fathers who come in and spend time working in th~ gardens. Trish has gardening days ab0l:'t Wee limes a ¥ear as weU as a system of subconul11ttees, each lookmg afler a small area of the school gardens. Both are well supported, for which we thank the parents. The Clothing Exchange continues to do a good trade, both ,UI buying wld sellUlg. Thanks go to Sue .Paulsen tor rwming this and to Arule B~t1er for asslstmg her. ill addition to those mentIOned above, I would also like to thank the Grade Reps, Christine Strickland, Cathy van der Westhuizen, Colleen Miller, Joan Main and Wendy van Deventer, for the endless cups of tea wld coITee served and catenng. done at the various functions. Anne Breurunger, your contribution over the years has been so great and [ thank you for your support while you were Secretary-we were al~ sorry you were n~t able to continue on the committee. To Joyce DOIdge. our head prefect's mother-it. was great to hav..: _you involved on the COflUl11ttee. Also to Plppa Richardson-tllank you so much for. all your support, encouragement and co.ntidence m me. To Terry Talotti, thank you for bemg there for me tlllS year. I wish you the best of luck and lots of fun as Chairlady next year. Finally, I say goodbye to a school where my son and I have both spent ti ve very happy years. I am so grateful that I had the opportunitx to participate fully in school life all that lime, as It has bel'l such a rewarding experience. I take away many_ ~ood memories but hopefuUy keep all the good tnends that I have made. M,s M Smith, Chai,lJJdy

IMPORTANT EVENTS lrIATRIC DANCE 2002 For the flfst time in the history of Wynberg Boys' High, the Matric Dance was held at Kelvin Glove Club. The theme was Masquerade and not only was the ballroom decorated accordingly, but the fact that the matrics and their partners had to wear masks was a great icebreaker. The music was provided by two Old Boys, Justin Stewart and Andrew Joos. The matrics and their partners enjoyed the elegant ambience of Kelvin Glove and everyone commented enthusiastically on the choice of venue.

VARIETY CONCERT It was dark, the lights flashed, the people screamed and history was made. Late in the third term, the theatrical talent of Wynberg Boys' High School was brought to the fore Many different talents were displayedsinging, dancing and sleight of hand, to say the least From bands, to solo singers, to Wynberg girls showing off their dancing talent-the n.ight was an uproarious success. Firstly, just being able to stand on a stage in front of teenage boys takes fortitude. Then actually having the talent-as all who took part did-is something amazing to see and unexplainably enjoyable to watch. Poetry, MC's spitting out some ill rhymes, some off-the-hook break-dancing and a DJ set that nearly happened (which was seen at the Girls' School variety concert--and was worth the wait!) also found their way onto Wynberg's stage. Kudos must go to the cultural committee for putting together such a slick, stylish and professional perfonnance. From auditions, to rehearsals, to organising pamphlets, to organising lighting and sound, to lnaking the actual night a success-the culrural conunittee did a huge and largely thankless job. So, thank you, cultural conunittee. A hand must be raised and moved from side to side to hail the loss of one of Wynberg culture's most Wynberg

langstanding institution-the hosts-Kevin Jefrey and Lyle Murrro. From prefects' assemblies to large productions, Kevin and Lyle amused and brought laughter to many. Whosoever dares to assume Kevul and Lyle's job has a huge set of shoes to fill. They will be sorely missed. A bittersweet goodbye to a cultural institution and a feast for the senses-Wynberg Boys' High School's Variety Concert was a colossal success.

GREASE is the Word Let's put flfst things first. WOW! Grease was an experience that not many people will forget; from the cast to the audience. It was a defming moment in the school careers of many young thespians and spectators alike. Stephen Jubber's Dan.ny to the chorus parts played by such theatrical stalwarts as Dean Kellennan and Dale varl Leeve, it could be seen that everyone was having the time of Iheir lives-one of the many factors which lead lo Grease being such a huge success. The actulg was amazing, the singing was splendid and the dancing was dazzling! Mr Richardson announced that 2002 was the year of Grease, and he was right. Never before has such a spectacle ever been witnessed by the Wynberg family. ~1r Ba;\ter's Grease was something he should be commended, praised and lauded for, to say the very least Out of interest, more than 100 people were involved in the production. That puts Mr Baxter's job into perspective and shows how weU he and his cast, back.stage crew and lightulg and technical crew broughl everytlung together into a glittering perf onnarlce. Hours of rehearsals, irritated directors and passion made Grease everything that it was and all who marlaged to have the comnutment to rehearse so allen must be superhuman. When Mr Richardson declared 2002 'The Year of Grease' he hit the nail on the head.

GREASE! Wynberg Boys' &: Girls' mt the IIlgb Spots John Baxter's production of the evergreen musical Grease, with the Wynberg Boys' and Girls' Hi~ Schools' collectively, hit the high spots of thelf school acting careers with this extremely stylish and satisfying evocation of the 1950's song and dance hil . In my view, it achieved seriously impreSSIve dramatic musical and choreographic levels of performa'nce. The packed audience on Friday night was treated to a captivating spectacle of sheer youthful energy and enjoyment, ofte~ approachinglet's face it-a professional presentalton. The very large cast played to and supported the storyline in every way, enjoying themselves hugely ill the process. In the big song and ensemble numbers the whole cast remained focused and attentive, with amazing pockets of interest and movement right across the stage and projecting rostra. The pace of the whole production was upbeat, fast without being rushed, and have those scene changes been transformed! Backstage crew, well done! I have to single out from the augmented cast list characters who shone--Lunga Guma for her petulant, brattish Rizzo. She produced an exciting, brass tone and stayed in character throughout. Frenchy (Jessica McArthur) for looking just right and also for characterisation. Greg Day's Kenicltie was always very watchable and expressive. Roger (Kyle Porter) and Doody (Luca Piemontesi) interacted very well and produced good tone. There's little room in shows of this genre for real character work but Patty Simcox, Felicity Stevens, Miss Lynch, Katherine Hutton-Squire, Vince Fontaine, James Dickie-Clark and Cha-Cha, Tam de ViUiers, came through well. Terrific dancing too, Tam! As for the two leads, Danny (Stephen Jubber) and Sandy (Claire HiUs), it goes without saying that they were tops. Jubber brought Danny to sparkling life--the complete 1950's schoolyard peacock, aU macho swagger, narcissism and greased-up selfcongratulation. And what a dancer-talented to the tips of his blue suede shoes (nice touch!). In spite of his great technique, never a moment of overplaying. Sandy was lovely-to look at and to listen to. She was timid and soulful by turn, sho\'1ingjust the right deference to the Pink platoon, and then breaking into her brassy, hussy persona with great aplomb. In a sho~ where diction was sometimes ullclear, Sandy was bell-like. Both characters sang well-Dwmy's electricity providing the exact foil for Sandy's

appealing characterisation. Well done to the both of them! The cast looked good, costwnes were bright, individual and correct, and each scene, ensemble or solo was well and imaginatively lil I couldn't decide whether more effort had gone into the choreography or the si.nging and chorus work of this show! Daphne Jubber's practised eye was evident everywhere, whether mass groupings or solo work, and it was a pleasure to see how the drulcers-newcomers, mWly of them-had caught on. Everybody had something interesting to do. Of course there were some problems of neatness and spacing, but the patterns and routines were generally neat, creative and fun! And how about that rock 'n roll number!! Audience members of a certain age had to control their itching feet! There were slight problems with i.ntonation and pitch with some singers, but for tile rest the sound was bright, strong wld infectiously rhythmic. We Go Together, amongst other favourites, had them stompin'. Because the music of Grease is so well known, the director had to insist on tile best, safest and most confident musical backing. He had it from maestro Brian Botha. This amazing accompwlist/conductor took tile bruld wld cast through tile show \VitilaU his energy, musicianship, rhythm and unJlagging tempi. With scarcely a break, never a discordant moment, the five bandsmen produced a wonderful sowld from start to fillish. A real pleasure to listen to! Drrunatically speaking, [ found the cadillac duet drive-in scene one of tile best. It had visual interest, hwnour and authenticity. Sandy wld Darmy servcd up the necessary wistfulness with the lightest of touches! Adolescent love (1uurve)at the heart of tilis story, properly buried beneath. mounds of dWlce, song and glitz, had its own qUIet moment. Rather effectively, I U10Ught. John Baxter's side-orders of theatrical surprises-properties that work (or seem to), special effects that startle and bits of business that are trul fwmy are always worth. Waiti.Jl~fo:. Somehow, above and behind it all, hke a mIschIevous puppetmaster pulling all sorts of strings, the director, bearded face permanently wreathed in smiles, welcomes one in, for tile umpteenth time, to share his magical stage-world of pleasure and delighl Last night's perfomlance of vintage Baxter and brand new, hotshot talent proved a heady mix1ure! Of the many, many shows JE has directed over tile years Grease 2002 at Wynberg ranks right up there witil the best of them. eil Vei/cJ,

ALLAN LllIB CELEBRITY DINNER

DILUIA

One Act Play Festivals John Baxter is well-known for the nwnerous productions he has staged for WBHS. Bearing i.n mind that he does not like the stagi.ngprocess of one act plays, he was very successful once again! The Zoo Story and The Dice were entered at two One Act Play Festivals-Somerset West Youth Festival and Montagu Youth Festival. At the Somerset West Festival Etienne Davis won the Best Actor Award. The Best Supporting Actor Award was awarded to Gregory Day. They were complimented on their natura! approach towards two very difficult parts when portrayed by school boys. Their timing and interaction added to their success. Both plays were staged at the Montagu Festival. The director and the boys' hard work was rewarded with a trophy presented to them for most outstanding dram contribution towards the festival. Most of the boys received silver/gold certificates for acting or backstage work. The One Act Play 'tour' will be extended in 2003 when Fraserburg (Karoo) and Fish Hoek will be added to the list. We arc proud of these Wynberg men.

TIlis was a fantastic evening enjoyed by some 250 people, ably and amusingly MC'd by Garth le Roux. Allan Lamb kept the crowd in stitches with various tales of cricketing and related issues. As a fWldraiser, the evening was a great success and with a nwnber of items auctioned R45 000 'was raised.

OBITUARY

Mbadtwe R&larala

On 3rd August 2002 a significant part of me was taken away. My closest friend., Mbadiwc, was ruthlessly kllled by six boys in Langa He had planned to spend that weekend in Langa and these cold-hearted murderers had killed him because of jealousy. Mbadi's funeral was attended by many, with the school band playing exceptionally well. It IS only no\ that the hymn Abide With Me means something to me. The memories of hiS funeral \\111 remain embedded in my heart and mind forever. Mbadi's love for football is a memory that wc at Wynberg wiJl remember forever. lie was a player with immense skill who never passed up an opportunity to show ofT Ius dribbling ablliues Mbadi was an eloquent speaker who stood up for what he believed in; a young man who let no-one divert him from his goals He was a strong character whose presence is still felt even after his death. Words cannot express the pain felt by us, his friends. How is it that a young man's life, wtuch was destined for greatness, be taken away so abruptly? Only God knows God has a plan for Mbad!. I WlLl ]Xrsonally remember turn as m) closest friend. In conclusion, I would like to add that '\<c should not only mourn his death but celebrate hIS life. Our sincerest condolences go out to the Ralarala fwmly who are Itke a second family to me because of Mbadi. Let us keep them UI our thoughts and pmycrs. To Mbadiwc III heaven, I \\1L1see you there Rest in peace. Mvclo Ramba

EXCHANGE PROGRAMME My Gap Year Experience In 800tland

Roland Brits When leaving for Scotland in December 2001, I thought that the year ahead would be a breeze and that the chances of missing family and friends would be very slim. However when arriving in Edinburgh I r~ised that the way of life here would be quite different to that of back home. The weather in Scotland is wet, cold and windy through the main part of the year so the people living here are used to being inside, either watching movies or surflllg the net to pass time. For me and most South Africans I'm sure, this took some getting used to as back home I would nonnally be at the beach or cycling over Ou Kaapse Weg. So at the start of the year it took me a little while to settle in a.nd realise that this was how it would be for the year. Edinburgh is a fantastic city! The night life here is extraordinary and is buzzing every night of the week. It is very easy to travel arowld the city because of the good public transport and one would rarely find an area where you couldn't hop on a bus. The taxis are great as well for those late Ilights out. However it can be very expensive in the capital city and with the South African rand being so weak I was Soon to find this out. Money is one thing thai has been on my mind aU year and as a student you wlIortunately always have lo budget I have missed out on a lot of home comforts that you take for granted or the ones that Mommy or Daddy would nonnally pay for. Food is also quite a change, over here there is a very big market for take-away food such as 'chippies' which are shops selling all types of food cooked in batter such as pizza. fish, sausages and burger palties elc. It has taken some getting used lo and the food hasn't been great at all [ram tlle boarding house but I'm still alive and kicking. George Watsons' College where I worked this year is the largest independent school in Europe. They have both tlteir senior and junior schools combined adding up to a lotal of 1800 students. The pupils attending the school are not weU disciplined or weU-marulered especially compared to that of Wynberg standards-ma be this is because of the size or the fact that it's a co-ed school. It is very weU structured though a.nd they are very strong in all

aspects of school life compared lo those of the surrounding schools. The school cycle consists of seven days, of tllese seven days, I would work five in tlle PE department. Anotller day I spenl in the junior school and was gi ven my last dayalT. Most of the year was therefore spent as a support stalT member in the PE block where I would assisl with classes in Gymnastics. baskeibaU and telUUS etc. During bath tlle winter and swnmer tenns I was given a rugby and telUlis team to coach and look after. Work this year was not light however and the boarding house duties can be tiring at times. Duty in the boarding house consists of sitting in a duty room every second weekend and also three IUght a weeks, making sure that tlle borders are looked after. It has been a good laugh working and living in the boarding house, New Myreside house, and has become a second home to me. I shared a flat witll anotller Australian gap student from Sydney, Allister, who has become like a brother to me and we have done a lot of touring togetller. Also staying in tlle flat is tlle Hamilton FeUow from New York, America, who is 23 years old and has teaelung qualifications. I have taken part in many school outings with tlle boarding house and junior school lo places like London, Norwich, Lake District and other places in tlle north of Scotland. I found this to be a fantastic way of seeing Scotland and England and lean1ing how to cope with younger cluldren when tlley are away from home for a few nights. To keep fit this year, I joined tlle Watsonian Cricket and .Rugby Club and found it lo be a great way of meetUlg new people nolonly from Edinburgh but all over tlle world. The staff I worked with are fantasti~ people. They have been really friendly and welcommg and I feel thai tlley are tlle main reason for me having enjoyed this year so much. Travelling has been a big learning curve for me this year and I was lud..-y enough to travel and see twelve differenl countries. It's really an eye-opener to see otller parts of tlle world and as I was living in tlle United Kingdom it was the gateway lo Europe. During the surruner holidays, which are the June, July and August months over here, I managed to join a travel company and bus around Europe. I met some locals [ram South Africa and also some otller great foreigners. I think tllat travelling is a greal way

to spread your wings and see what the rest of the world is doing and might change your mind as to what you would like to do one day. You meet the most interesting people and it defmitely changes a person's outlook on life. OveraU, this year has been a memorable and exciting year and is one of the best choices I've made in life. The number of contacts I made and great people I've met have been amazing. I am really fortunate to have been able to take this year out and would recorrunend it to those who are unsure as to what they would like to do after leaving school or who would like to travel. The experience has changed my personality a bit and I feel I wiU have to settle in again when I return to my beautiful country, South Africa.

Down Under in Kangaroo Country Daniel WUey The year got otT to a bumpy start when r missed

my flight from Sydney to Hobart but that was the lowest point of the my stay and ,}je year just got better from then on. I really did not struggle adjusting to life in Hobart, even though Australia's laidback approach is a little different. The workload was not to heavy and most of it involved coaching of some kind from cricket to rugby and even Aussie rules. I was given plenty of time to travel and see the country and during the May school break a few other gap students and I travelled up the eastern seaboard and visited just about every city and town between Sydney and Cain1S. TIUs year has given me the opportunity to experience living within another culture and as the year has gone by also given me time to think about my future and in which direction I would like to go with my studies and life in general. I would just like to thank Mr Richardson and Wynbt:rg for entrustll1g me with awesome responsibility of flying the Wynberg flag overseas. Lastly to Matthew, have a great year and take every opportunit that comes your way. I would recommend a gap year as it is a challenge und an awesome experience. For me it has been invaluable

My Year at Wynberg

FraserBoyd Out of all the Gap Year Students to come to these shores, I claim to have the most dramatic of starts, as, on arrival at Cape Town International Airport, my Gap Year q4Ïckly turned into a 'Gap Day' as the immigration people decided they did not like the look of me and sent me back on the next flight out of South Africa to Scotland. TIUs lead to much debate in the Boyd household as to whether I should return. There was no debate in my mind and a week after I was back on a plane, this time making a successful entry into South Africa. One of the most important parts of a Gap Year is to learn different styles of living. I have achieved this in two ways, as South African's have a very different life style to 'us Scots' and also, in the fact that r now live in Littlewood Hostel, after never previously being a school boarder. TIUs is an experience I have found most enjoyable to date. Hostel duties include keeping an eye on the boys during prep, the intense games of Touch Rugby and trying to help them with English Grammar or the Maths question that just is not in the Scottish Education System syllabus' My feUow 'Stooges', as we affectionately known, have been so welcoming and friendly, showing me the ropes on arrival and have been a pleasure to live with. As good as the meals are at the Hostel, nothing quite beats a njce family meal and one of the great features of the Gap Year Exchange here at Wynberg is the host family. I am lucky enough to have the Baereckes as my hosts. They have been most welcoming and invited me into the family as if I had been there for years. TIUs made me feel very at ease, which was especiaUy helpful in my first few weeks here. Gareth and all of his friend's have also taken me under their wing, allowing me to make a lot new liiendships which will last until the end of my time here and hopefully beyond. One of the major changes for any Gap Student is that from pupil to staff member. It certainly takes a little while to get used to. The sound of "sir, sir" in the car is one which I have taken some time to naturally respond to. I have found that this has, by no means, lessened my enjoyment of school life. TIle staff have all been friendly and 1 have enjoyed my numerous conversations with them about how bad the Scottish weather actually is, which seems lO humour them, along with how bad the Scottish rugby team actuaUy is, although, I have not had that conversation all week for some reason! The students have also been very welcoming and I have found coaching my under 14E and F teanls a most enjoyable experience.

Wynbt'rg Boys' High School Magazine 2002 - 50-

In closing, I would like to thank my host family, the Baereckes, for their generosity and providing me with a home-away-from-home. I would also like to thank Garcth Edwards, Rodney MaIlinson and Roy Mack from my School, George Watson's College, in Edinburgh, as well as Mr Richardson and all his stafT here at Wynberg, who have all helped in making my time here so enjoyable so far. I would also like to take this opport1lllity to wish Gareth Baerecke the best of luck for his year in Edinburgh. It is now approaching the end of my first full tenn here and \\~th so much still to look forward to for the remainder of my stay, I am very glad that I was so determined to come back to South Africa.

My Year at Wynberg

David Cutler My time here in SA has been aud excltlllg and memorable one, with WBHS as my base I was able to be heavily involved with the school and hostel and still get out a.nd enjoy Cape Town and its sights. Coaching sport played a major part in my stay here at Wynberg. Over UIe swruner season I coached Cricket and Tennis and during the winter season I coached rugby. I was also able to take over the surfing and bodyboarding teams from Mr Tipper and Mr Lawrence which let me go out and see some of Cape Towns beaches on Friday afternoons. Onc major highlight of my stay was going on the overlander over the Easter holidays. On this overlander we went to Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia It was an awesome experience where I got lo see many different cultures and lifestyles. This was a great eye-opener for me to see how these people Lived in absolute poverty, and would exchange items (carvings, jewellery) for goods (i.e. shoes, sandals) rather Ul31l money. I have really enjoyed my time here in South Africa, and I would like lo thank Mr Richardson 31ld Mr KnowIes for giving me the opportunity of doing my GAP year al WBHS, and thanks to all the boys and stafT for making my time here so unforgettable - I hope to rerum sometime in the near future.

My Year at Wynberg

Dan Brooke As a 'Pom' with a difTerent academic year, I am only about half\vay through my time at Wynberg and so I'll do my best to sum it all up so far 31ld look ahead at the SaJl1e time. COining out into the unknown is a very daunting experience, especially when you have little or no idea of what to expect. However, as soon as I was met at the airport by some friendly strangers, my fears were allayed. My first impressions were to be accurate ones as all people I have meI have been overwhelmingly kind and generous. Having a close group of stooges and teachers helps lo creale a warm atmosphere that helps to keep your mind ofT all that you've left behind and can only help you to look ahead with intense anticipation. After the various introductions to people whose names I immediately forgot, I was shown to a cold, windy and forlom field with a group of boys who looked almost as lost as I did I was prompUy given a few plastic cones 31ld a suggestive look that seemed to say, 'Good luck'. This was of course the first UI4D hockey practice of Term 3 and lo say I was thrown in at the deep end would be true. However, things progressed from then and an 8-0 defeat in my first game did nothing to d\\~ndle their confidence or enthusiasm, although my pride was somewhat dented. The teams that I have taken 31ld the boys in those teams have been great to work with and I genuinely enjoy the practices and matches with them. It is a great opportunity to gain important people skills while there CaJ1I10tbe anything much more rewarding than seeing the smiles on their faces when they re31n SACS or Bishops. I can also say that I've made some great friends [rom my tearns and look forward to doing more of the same next year. Working in the hostel is hugely rewarding, too, and there are some fantastic boys who I will be sad to leave when I evenrually do. There is a great aunosphere and lots of laughs. In the staff room there has been some great banIer between every South African and me on topics ranging from the weather to the state of' Pom' sport and back to the weather again. It is all in good fun and seems to diminish every time the Springboks lose, which has been more frequent of late. Coming halfway through the year as us Northem Hemisphere lot do defmitely has its perks For one, there is already 311 established group of stooges who show you the ropes and corrupt you with their hectic social life. It makes fitting in that much easier 31ld means you don't bave four foreigners trying to fmd their feet and finding liemselves lost and scared at O4hOO with lie

eWES! ADULT

LEARNING CENTRE CELEBRATING GREAT BEGINNINGS Cwesi Conununity Learning Centre had been part of Wynberg Boys High School for six years and the Cwesi Governing Body thought that it was about time to celebrate our birthday. With that in mind., the first Cwesi Founder's Day was held in April in the Wynberg Hall. Given the learning schedule of the adults who study at Cwesi (and the hectic programme of the Wynberg boys) we never quite achieved our goal of getting the choirs of the two schools lo sing together, but lots of wonderful music was made on the night All of Wynberg's fine bands played tunefully and the day and night school choirs provided interesting contrasts between adult and scholarly voices! The Cwesi learners' work was displayed on boards around the tables heaped with excellent food kindly donated by Pick 'n Pay. The Cwesi literacy class put on a humorous play about how important attendance can be and matric learner Fundiswa Lumane contributed a moving and stirring poem, 'Till when I'm the news'. Elliott Sidloyiya was at his impassioned best as the Cwesi choir's own imbongi and a marimba band, The Seasons Stars, brought proceedings to a happy close. Apart from the fun aspect of the evening, some employers of Cwesi learners said that it was the [lrst time they had heard that their employee was in fact a night-time learner. So the Founders Day project proved to have a purpose in educating employers as well. Another highlight of the year was the visit by some of Cwesi's learners to the Two Oceans Museum as part of the International Literacy Day celebrations. Enrolment at Cwesi increased this year to 156. The trend towards more learners in Grades Il and 12 continued. We fow1d that we had to offer English first and second languages and this put us w1der some financial pressure. We were thrilled to be one of the beneficiaries of the Interact Wynberg Boys'

High School Big Walk this year, and can only marvel again at how wonderful it is that Wynberg's boys really take the idea of service to heart. Thank you, WBHS. We sadly said goodbye to Ms Mavis John because of her full-time teaching conunitmenls. We take pride in Cwesi having offered her the frrst opportunity of teaching after going back to school as an adult and qualifying as a teacher. Ms John's contribution not only in class but also as a choir teacher was inestimable. Mr Trupos left lo teach in the Gulf and we were glad to welcome Mrs Rosemary Molathana (Xhosa) and Ms Fazlin Dirk (Biology). The biggest challenge conlinues to be transport. GeIting learners to the fme facilities that are on offer at Wynberg is very costly. We dream that one day a benefactor will supply us with a bus. As a cost-cutting measure, fewer matric subjects will be offered next year although overall, learners will have a wider choice. So instead of offering eight matric subjects in one year, ten will be offered over two years. Few if any adult learners are in a position to get a matric in one (or even two) years anyway, so this solution will benefit both the students and Cwesi's finances. Sadly, we have also had to cut some classes at basic literacy and numeracy level. The process of deciding to cut the subjects and change the timetable was a lengthy one, involving learners, learner representatives and the Governing Body. Cwesi continues to rely on the generosity of the pharmaceutical company Pfizer and our SA-Club friends in Berlin for the funding to make the teaching and transport programme possible. We are most grateful to them and to the Western Cape Education Department for their continued support.

IDEPARTMENT REPORTS statements. Both have a valuable part to play in educating the boys in the field of Accounting and it is hoped to make more use of them in the years ahead. In closing, I am confident that the matric group of 2002 will produce excellent results and I would like to thank Mr Faulds and Mr Hensh.ie for their continued hard work and support. A word of thanIcs also to Mr Bad.iali in the Computer Room for his willing assistance in this area.

ACCOUNTING Subject Head: MrD RusseIl Teachers: Messrs D Faulds and S Henshie (Grade 9) AccOlmting at Wynberg continues to flourish as one of three subjects constituting the language of business at this school. With the arrival of Outcomes Based Education and the necessity for the Grade 9's to be exposed to Economic Management Sciences, we took the decision to continue with the teaching of Accounting in Grade 9 with a view to preparing boys in Grade 10 for further study in this field. Accounting covers a very broad range of issues, and presents itself to the boys not only in the form of the content, but also i.n exposing them to very basic skills: the need to be accurate and the need to work neatly. This has created an environment of academic discipline so necessary in the field of Accounting as a career. The boys in the junior grades are exposed to the basic principles of bookkeeping and how to record transactions on a day-to-day basis with a view to producing results at the end of the year. This process continues right up to trial balance and financial statement stage. In the senior stages, boys are exposed to different fonns of business ownership and how this atlects the way in which reporting is done, particularl y at the end of the year. We are fortunate to have two computer packages available to us at the school. The first package is a very basic system of teaching boys simple processing of transactions using the language of Accounting. Ledgerz, as the basic level of entry is called, is aimed at the Grade 9 level and gives the boys a very basic level of entry into the use of computers. The prograrrune has been drawn up at UCT and is sponsored by the accounting fmn, KPMG. The second package is the more commonly used Pastel programme where learncrs are introduced to a wider range of issues and are able to see the situation through from the stage of simple processing of transactions through to fmancial

Subject Head: Mr J Laten Teachers: Ms A Diedericks, Ms T Santi, Messrs E Roodt, K Blom, M Moolman, RIngLis 2002 was a successful year for the Afri.kaans Department in many respects. Teachers had to put in several extra hours to fmalise portfolios for Grade 9 and 12 as expected by the WCED. The learners worked harder (and more often!) to fmalise their portfolios. Educators had to work harder too, as it was expected of them to prepare the fmal mark lists, the teacher's portfolio, etc.---all in the interests of our learners and subject. A successful Afrikaans week was presented during the third tenno An assembly was held in Afrikaans. The boys were introduced to two fine journalists working at Die Burger (the newspaper with the highest circulation numbers in the Western Cape). An Afrikaans actor, Johann Nel, read Afrikaans poetry and senior boys met the Afrikaans poet, Daniel Hugo. Grade 9 boys had the opportunity to meet the author of their prescribed book, Carina Diedericks-Hugo, who addressed them on her book moord.nel. At the end of the week the boys were introduced to Afrikaans rock (no pun intended) music and 'pannekoek" The standard of Afrikaans work is improving slowly but surely. The Afrikaans Handbook & Study Guide defmitely helps the boys: the Grade 12 oral

marks were not only approved, but increased by the Afrikaans Subject Advisor. With continued eOort and hard work the Afrikaans Department's results can improve to reach the academic standards expected of WBHS learners. This can onJy be achieved ..... tlen learners open themselves up to new challenges. Alles van die beste vir 2003.

ART Subject Head: Gareth Davies Returning to the Art Room after an absence of 20 years has been a somewhat daunting task for me. Firstly, taking over from Nicola Jordan who ran an excellent department and, secondly, dealing with the new OBE curriculLun placed pressure on the Art Department to perform. The matncs performed beyond expectations this 'ear. The had to deal with a new teacher and the pressures of the matric art portfolio. lo their finaJ exhibition the Moderator saw fit to award 7 A's and 3 B's out of a class of 15. Although the final theory exam wns a difficult paper, 1 am confident that the results wdl be good The Art Department had three exhibitions this year. The flfS!, Work in Progress, was held in the Art Room in July. All grades had the opportwuty to exhibit and the function was to show parents what their sons had been creating lo that point. A power failure aller an hour wlfortunately put paid to further viewing. but in the days following a nwnber of parents visited and enjoyed the work. The second was for the Arts and Culture Evening. The Grade li's painted and created in the foyer, while a range of works were on view in the hall. The last was the final Matnc Exhibition. lne boys were required to e.xhibit a mini.ll1wn of five works and their finaJ painting. Two of the final paintings were given 100%. The exhibition stayed up for the Grade 9 Parents Evening and the New Parents Evening. The s hool has purchased a kiln and Ul 2003 we \\111 be introducing ceramics as an aJtemative to paintmg as a practicaJ compom:nt. This means that bo}s \~;11 be able to choose belween two pracllcaJ subjects Art as a subject choice seems to be going through a renaissance at Wynberg. 2002 saw a large intake of Grade 9's and ever-increasing nwnbers of Grade 10's, A number of Grade li's have aJso opted for Painting Standard Grade as a second subject nu bodes well for the future of Art and DeSIgn at Wynberg.

BIOLOGY Subject Head: MrW Creed

Teachers: Mrs P Hanekom. Mrs M Fischer. Mr G Ta lor The senior certificate results for 200 I were once again marred by the perenniaJ problem of pupils persisting, against aJl advice, in anempting the subject at the higher grade and then failing outrighl Desperate measures to halt this habit have been instituted and the 2003 results should show a 100% pass rate with its fair share of standard graders. The department began the year rather shakil as our new teacher, Mr le Fleur decided after a few weeks at Wynberg that he no longer enjoyed teaching and he lell. Mrs Fischer, who \'vns rather relishing tile prospect of at least a year's break from teaching herself, bravely stepped back into the breech to rescue the Grade 12's from imploding upon themselves. After an exhaustive search for a replacement biology teacher for the other abandoned classes we were rnol>1 fortwlllte to find Mrs Hanekom. Having spent the la t few ears in research laboratories \ hich involved working with mice, Mrs Hanekom was not quite prepared for working with larger, more aggressive animals. She is, howevt:r, very skilled al producing worksheets and classroom activities which are entirely webbased and most innovative. Mrs Fischer, whose dedication to the school is now legendary, once again averted further disaster by organising and overseeing a most successful Grade IQ biolog Camp at Wortelgat. 1l1is is the ftrst year in which extemaJ moderation of the Continuous Assessment or CAS mark took place for Grades 9 and 12. 2(0) will sce the inclusion of the Grade IQ's in this procedllfe. These CASS marks are derived [rom certall1 te ts, exams. class work, projects and practicals which have to be designed to meet fairly rigorous standards. The Department of Education has gradually eked out instructions and directives regarding CAS as the year progressed. The finaJ word on these CASS procedures will be introduced to us early in 200) so we should aJl be more equipped and able to fulril all criteria then In lhe meanwhile considerable plmming WIll be takIng place as the department has to focus on these new i.nterim measures.

BUSINESS ECONOMICS Subject Head: MrD Faulds Teachers: Messrs S Henchie and M Galant With the future of education changing so rapidly, and the introduction of the new FET, the future of business economics is uncertain at Wynberg. While Business Economics will always have a place in the curriculum, that place must be reduced so that boys follow worthwhile academic courses. Business Economics was offered in Grade 10 this year as an alternative to Mathematics and il was pleasing lo see only a reduced nwnber of boys opl~g nol to do Maths. From next year (2003) Busmess Economics will form part of the FET Commercial Course with the name 'Economic and Management Sciences'. We look forward to good results from our matrics of 2002 and hope that there will be a number of subject A's on the higher grade. The work done by all the classes this year was of an extremely high standard and I thank the boys for their efforts, especially Mr Henchie's Grade lI's, for their research into the Wynberg Nursery project. It is also farewell from my point of view as I will no longer be involved in the department from 2003.

year and kept in their fLIes) is that it replaces the essay-and-letter exam at the end of the year. I think a collection of work gathered during the year is a ~tter reflection of the learner's ability than one smgle exam. Hopefully this will be proved by higher marks when the reports come out at the end of the year. ~e educators wijl be very pleased by these much l.mproved marks as this new system generates Immense mountains of extra administration. We are appreciating our local literature more and more as we move deeper into the 'local is lekker' phase in our book choices. Next year the Grade 8's ~ll be. studying a Cape Town who-durmit, Who Killed JImmy Valentyne? We do, however, still keep our hearts open to many of the classics-an old favourite we went back to reading this year in Grade Il was To Kill a Mockingbird. We continued with our film study in Grade 10 and the literature-based assignments in Grades 9 and I J. The Grade_9's did a full portfolio on their setwork novel, The House in Tyne Street, as well as news arttcles based on Julius Caesar. while the Grade 11'5 did a task (including an SMS and a creative CD cover) based on Macbeth. Mr Brostcr was responsible for tbe A-level English class. (lts knowledge of the spoken [English] word has helped us mere mortals on many occasions.) We enjoyed teaching the A-level class when we had our turn at team-teaching selected poems from their poetry syllabus. We thank Mr Chris Murcot! for being so willing to teach our learners during his visit to Wynberg Boys'.

The implementation of the 'portfolio' CASS assessment in Grade 12 and the new OBE CASS portfolio in Grade 9 defmitely kept us busy. Our school English Department does, however, like a challenge, and so rose to it enthusiastically, albeit with the occasional curses as another circular arrived from the WCED (usually some days aller we had already done it "our way").

One of the tasks set was a comparison of three aspects of French daily Life or culture with those found in any of the Francophone countries--<>f which there are 46! Choices ranged from wellknown countries like Belgium and Canada to the romantic islands of the Seychelles and Reunion. They enjoyed this exercise and widened their knowledge considerably. Next year French will be offered in Grades 9 and Il.

GEOGRAPHY Subject Head: Mrs L Wilson Teachers:

Mrs C Hodgkinsoo, Mr D Schenck and Mr S Hudson-Bennett The year started ofT very well with excellent results from the matric Geography group of 2001. A total of 24 distinctions were achieved with an overall average of 68%. This resulted in a very positive attitude overall and the desire to maintain this achievement. Once agai~ the department has wo~k~d well as a team, each member making a posItive contribution to the subject of Geography at Wynberg. The year saw changes to the record mark req~rements for the Grade 12 group with each candidate having to prepare a portfolio of work and produce a lengthy research project The projects varied greatly in standard but some excellent work was done by many. The prelim exam was once again written in conjunction with the Girls' High School and this process ran smoothly with the boys and g.irls producing very similar results. Many changes await us next year with regards to the implementation of OBE and assessment across tlle grades. As a department, we are well on track to meet all the reqwrements. Underlying all tile assessment is still tile ability to keep Geography a relevant and alive subject that conlinues to make it such a popular choice amongst the boys.

reasoning. With knowledge tile historian must be able to argue a point of view. Using these teclmiques in teaching and examinations has made ~e ~bject more popular as can be seen by tile rapid nse U1 tile number of boys taking history in the sewor grades. As for last year, tile Grade 8 history was presented as part of the Human and Social Studies course. The modules prepared were in line with the new outcomes based approach and this course will be followed again next year. The senior grades are prepared for matric and for this reason all teaching, testing and examinations are in line with final matric examinations. This year the History Department ventured into A-levels in Grade 11, which was prepared and presented by Mr van Schalkwyk. The joint matric examination in September with the Wynberg Girls' High School produced good results and we are looking forward lo anotiler year of sound performances being repeated in the fmals. Finally, a word of tilrulks to tile members of this department for all their hard work ruld support. Ihope they found tileir efforts rewarding.

LATIN Subject

Head:

Mr K Richardson Latin was taught only at matric and Grade 9 level tilis year. What a pity that tile reqttirements of the modem curriculum are hastening the denlise of this valuable subject The pupils who opted to do Latin this. year were, a~ usual: able to explore tile beauty of Latm-and Enghsh-literature as well as delve into the delights of classical history. They have been enriched by this experience.

Teachers: Messrs J Baxter, K Pretorius, P van Schalkwyk History is wuque in tile sense tilat enricrunent and tile principles of lateral thinking are not only desirable, but also required in tile syllabus. The aim of history teaching is that the boys taking the subject Wlll not only learn facts but that tiley understand trends, processes and changes taking place in human society. Witil understanding and empatily, tile historian should be able to evaluate and determine ways of solving problems. Gone are the days of long essays cluttered with many facts.

TIle boys were kept very busy with various musical activities tllfoughout the year. Opportunities at the school ulclude fonnal concerts, performing in assembly, tile major production, tile concert band, tile jazz band, tile steel band, tile choir and accompaniments. At the begiruung of 2002 Mr Peter Catzavelos joined tile Music Department as a fuU-time teacher. I-le shares the load of teachulg subject music as well as taking full control of tile brass section and tile concert band. 1n a short space of time he has created miracles with tile band, witll a membership of 30 boys, practising every morning before school and on Friday afternoons. The concert band performed at nine public performances this year, of which tile highlight was tile eisteddfod, where a gold diploma and tile trophy for tile best concert band in tIleir category were awarded. The jazz band continues to blossom under tile superb leadership of Marc de Kock. They are in demand and have perfonned at twelve public perfornlances this year, of which tlle two highlights of tile year were the Baxter Theatre Big Band Feslival and tile Gmharnstown Standard Bank Festival. The boys say this will become an annual event. We are very proud to congratulate Matthew Willis and Byron Carr, who were selected to perfonn in tile SoutIl African National Schools Jazz Band. The choir has had a very good year and has Nolene DwUl to thank for her excellent leadership and voice training. TIle choir performed at seven public perfornlances this year, of which tile highlight was tile Eisteddfod, where they were awarded a

diploma and a trophy for tile Best Choir at the Prize Wilmers concert. The steel band under tile capable hands of Kenny and Mr Catzavelos has gone from strength to strengtIl. The nwnbers ha ve grovm from 10 boys to 18 boys. The steel band has perfonned al four public perfonnances this year, of which tile highlight was the Grey/Wynberg City Hall Concert. lt has been a good music year at Wynberg, excellent individual success has been achieved in tile Music Department, Eisteddfods, Royal Schools and Trinity College exams. The highlight of tile year for tile Music Department was tile Grey/Wynberg City Hall Concert. This was a new venture for Wynberg and was a greal success. This proves that music is 'alive and well' at Wynberg Boys' High School!

PHYSICAL SCIENCE Subject Head: Mr E Blignaut Teachers: Messrs DAllen,

B Greenwood and L Maser

Laboratory Assistant: Mrs S Petersen The highlight of tile year was certainly the enjoyment of tile results of the 2001 matrics-81 % HG passes, 92% SG passes, 17,5% HG A's. Again, these results could have been even better if approximately 20010 of the HG boys who were advised to do SG had done themselves a service by doing so, tIlereby gaining good SG results instead of poor HG marks or even failing outright. instead, passing Science or getting good results is seen as a mission by some, when it is forgonen that where future employers or further education instirutions scrutinise CV's, Science provides important infonnation about the candidate. These results helped a great deal in adaptillg to tile demands of OBE, which sounds as Ulough it should be a simpler system but in reality consumes a vast amount of time. The Science Department teachers have attended numerous afternoon sessions at various locations to learn from 'subject advisors' (inspectors) about how tlle job has to be done. To ease tile rnillds of pre-OBE old boys, we have largely been otTering tile boys a progressively improving 'old' system which incorporates most of the OBE principles, except for the matmer of assessment. Life has been as busy as usual. Helping us with an ever-increasing level of efficiency is Mrs

Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2002 - 61 -

Samantha Petersen, our computer-literature Laboratory Assistant who is rapidly approaching being given the odd class to teach. Without her, we in the Natural Sciences Learning Area (i.e. Biology+Science) would struggle to survive.

Our pupils participated with varied success in a number of competitions offered. In the tough national Science Olympiad (9 975 participants) incluwng Aiology, Maths and General Knowledge sectlOns, Martin Fischer came top of our record 73 entrants at l50th 'place (98th percentile) and Geoffrey Mulder came 232nd (96th percentile), both extremely good results considering tllat they are both in Grade Il. In the national Mintek (National Institute of Mineralogy) Quiz, our African Home Language learn of Siviwe Mxube, Monde Matolengwe and Phelo Nongalaza narrowly missed a placing. Both the Afrikaans tinit language group of Darren Smith, Greg de StadIer and Dylan Hilder, and the English Home Language tearn of Matthew Hogarty, Subhaan Brey and Martin Fischer gained second place of 20 schools. In the Afrikaans section sudden-death playoff, both teams in the fmal had to guess the

Wynberg

atomic mass of silver. SACS guessed 80 and WBHS 79,8 (without knowing what SACS guessed) with the real value being 108! In the English section fmal we lost by one point to Bishops. We were not invited to take part in the SA Institute of Civil Engineers Model Bridge Building Competition this year as participation is rotated. During the subject week this year in the second tenn a most successful second WBHS EXPO was staged in the Clegg Hall as a forenuUler to the regional EXPO held at UCT. The Biology, Geography, Computer (IT), Maths and Science departments must be congratulated on the impressive display of projects their pupils produced. The goal of producing creative investigations was certainly fulfilled to a greater extent, with 58 boys receiving prizes ranging from movie tickets to chocolates. One aspect of concern, however, was the relatively small number of parents who found the time to visit the displays-maybe they worked too hard on their son's projects!? One project tested the height from which rus mom's eggs would fall before breaking. This was in order to find out which type of eggs had the strongest shells, i.e. was Farmer Brown really supplying his hens with the most nutritious diet? Who says that disinterested scientific research has no point! Matthew Don (I lA), Paul White and Stuart Botha (I lA), Dwaine Faria-Carrao and Craig Butler (II C), Alexi Grammenopouias and Paolo Innocenzi (lOA), William Souter (9A) and Neville Krige (IDA) all displayed their projects at the Western Cape Science EXPO. Matthew won a silver medal for his analysis of the motion of bottles rolling down a slope, while William won a gold medal for his 'Electrical Telmis Line-Call System' which we hope will revolutionise Wimbledon. William is heartily congratulated on his eventual bronze medal at the National Science EXPO held in Pretoria in September. Aller six months of hard work supervised by Mr Maser and Mr Jeff Fearon, Wynberg was able to enter nine temns of Grade 10 pupils into the 2002 Institute of Mechanical Engineers Technology Olympiad. The Competition involved designing a car to meet certain challenges, e.g. covering 20m of rough chipboard in the smallest time and cart the greatest mass up a 2 metre slope of 25° without any fomlof electrical or fuelled assistance. Two of our tearns (Bradley Mulder, Tyler Scott, James Smith and Carl Kleinschmidt, Sean Laskey, Sean Whelan) made it through to the Western Cape tinals in Stellenbosch. Unfortunately, last minute modifications to both vehicles (in an attempt to improve them further) baclcftred and neither vehicle perfonned at optimum capacity. Nonetheless, the

Boys' High School Magazine - 62-

two teams should be commended for their many hours of hard work. Twelve of our boys wrote the SlAT (Schools International Assessment Tests) set by the New South Wales Educational Testing Centre. The Centre has organised this competition annually for more than 20 years and this is the second year that Wynberg has participated. Students from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the Pacific Region took part. There were over 450 000 entrants this year and th.e results of our top boys are as follows (percentiles given): Grade 9 Hamish Williams (65th); Grade lO Paolo Innocenzi (87th), Bradley Mann (87th), Neville Krige (78th); Grade II Martin Fischer (99th), Matthew Hull (88th); Grade 12 Chris Cameron-Dow (69th). Our heartiest congratulations go to Martin Fischer, who received a High Distinction Award for coming in the top I% internationally, and the Gold Medal for obtaining the highest marks in South Africa. Our excursions took a tumble due to OBE pressure which was the last straw to test the camel's back, though the amount of project and practical work has increased quite markedly. Parents' school fees have been stretched because of the dramatic price increase of equipment, especially that from overseas, but we are sure your sons are benefiting from the practicals.

MATHEMA.TICS

All subject departments were encouraged to have a subject week during the year. Mathematics week was held in September and included making Mathematics the basis of an assembly, daily Maths competitions and a Lottery. The lottery was conducted by the Maths teachers, with accompanying discussions on probability. There was only one winner, Greory Lucasiewicz in Grade II, who won about R600. As with all subjects, we continued to grapple with the uncertainties of OBE and the vagaries of WCED planning. Grade 12's were expected to compile portfolios through the year, as were Grade 9's. This system is set to continue into Grade 10 next year. For the first time, Additional Mathematics was introduced into the timetable for Grade 10's. This proved very successful, with 30 pupils completing the year. There is no doubt that this will have huge benefits for them in their last two years of Maths and Add Maths. Mr Knight has continued teaching Add Maths to a group of Grade li's after school. Mathematics continues to be a very challenging subject to teach. Parents are, quite correctly, concerned about their sons' performance in Mathematics, as they are aware of the importance of this subjecl However, this concern is not always shared by ilieir sons, and there are many boys who could be doing HG Maths who are not, simply through lack of application and effort. If pupils in every grade could accept that Maths is a skill which needs constant practice and attention, they would find that it is not the mystery it seems to be at lhe moment for all loo many!

Luckily we were able to get an able replacement in Mr John Herbert, a teacher of many years experience, at very short notice. Mr le Fleur lell at the end of tJle fln>t term to take up a business opportunity, and his place was taken by Mrs Pauline Hanekom.

GRAIDE REPORTS

and WRITING GRADE8 The year began with the Grade 8 Induction Programme where the new boys to the school were introduced to their new environment The week serves .several purposes, but apart from the setting in whIch It takes place and the general admin that needs to be completed, Ulere is an ideal opportunity for boys from the various junior schools to get to know each other. High school demands that the boys learn how to be organised and how to manage their time efTicienUy. The process of settling in is generally smooth and the boys are made to feel part of the school from the very flfst day. This year we introduced a new system of aUocating the boys to register classes. Each boy was aUocated to one of nine register classes, nwnbered 8 I to 8.9, and then was also placed into an academic class. The register classes were therefore much smaller than the academic classes. TIlis served two main purposes. Firstly, the class tutors of each class were able to get to know ilieir group of boys e;.:tn.:mely well in dealing with such a small number of 16 or 17 boys. Secondly, general admin was ~andled more efTicienUy. What this, of course, lllcVltably led to was a much wider spirit amongst the group of boys. lnterclass events such as the singing and pubEc speaking were competed for between nine classes, as opposed to ilie traditional six. Although the talent was spread far and wide MIs Hodgkinson's 8.4 class appeared to dominat~ events encompassing a great spirit all round! This ye.a: saw an inaugural interclass soccer tournament, IJ1lhally scheduled for June, but which only took place at the start of the fourth term due to the typical Cape wintry weather! Needless to say, 8.4 won the tOl.lfllament! The event was a great success and enjoyed by all. A feature of this group has been the tremendous s~irit ru_nongst tlle boys and a great feeling of fnendship and support for each oilier. TIIis has also been retlected in the class service project for tlle Wynberg

year, which was the establishing of various gardens along tlle embankment closest to the school. TIle Service Conunittee at tlle school under the guidance of Mrs Hodgkinson put an enornlOUS runount of time and energy into the project A highlight of tlle Grade 8 calendar is always the Interclass One Act Plays. TIlls year was no exception, with an extremely high standard of entertairunent on show during tlle evening. Because of time constraints, each academic class put on their own play, directed by a senior boy in the school. The evening was a great success and we appreciate the hard work put in by the various directors and the Cultural Committee at ilie school under tlle guidance of Mr Laten. Over tlle years the event has served the purpose of giving tlle boys an opportunity to occupy 'centre' stage in a very relaxed and infonnal mrumer exposing the boys to this aspect of school life. ~ Baxter and Mr Davies adjudicated tlle evening with tlle following awards being made: Best Best Best Best Best

This year also saw tlle [lfSt Grade 8 Camp take place from 24 to 28 Feoruary at Wortelgat Outreach Crunpsite outside Strulford. The campsite has two sites, each accommodating about 40 boys. The Grade 8 group was split up into two smaller groups of abo~t 80 boy~. Each group spent two nights at the eampslte, one I1Ight at each of tlle two sites. The two campsites offer very different facilitIes and pn.:st:ntcd two veI) different situations to the boys. Various activities were arranged for the pupils whereby they were forced to work together in groups to complete tasks ruld to overcome obstacles. In addition to the daytime events tlle boys were also taken on a night hike and exposed to the sounds of thc. ni~t in the veld. Leisure time was spent sWlllumng and canoeing in the Hennan's Lagoon

III addition to the physical aspects of the camp the boys were also e posed to a session run by Mr Moser and myself whereby various issues pertinent to Grade 8's and experienced at school, were dealt with. All in all, the camp proved a great success and an extremely worthwhile event. My thanks to all those who made the experience so worthwhile and enjoyable. As the car draws to a close, I can quite honesUy rcOect on an extremely satislying year \'iith regard to the Grade 8 group of2002. This is a fanlastic group of individuals. As a group, they have much to olTer and I am confident that they will make their mark at this school in the years ahead. Mr D Russell, Grade 8 Head

GRADE 8 CllfP

Kyle WllliamsoD We arrived there on Monday morning, all of us walling lo see how the camp was going to be. Once we wenl to the main campsite wc were separated illlO groups. One group stayed behind and lhe other went to bush camp. On the way to bush camp we went past a beautiful forest, then we reached the lake and were made lO walk across this lake with our main luggage held above our heads and if we fell-tough, we had to continue, wet clothes and all. Once we arrived at this beautiful campsite we

had a talking to about what we must do and then wc \'icre separated into even smaller groups We had to give our groups a name and a war cry. Some or the names were Iron Tigers, Sangwnas, MAt) and the BWldu Bashers. Then we were sent to our donns We were called back to the maUL hall for lunch and started with our team building activities, which were great fun. That night we had a braai. We went on a night run, did theatre sports and had hot chocolate and then we went to sleep. The nex1 morning we were up at half past six to go on a morning run. We had a bible session and then were given time to reOect on the day ahead. We lell for the nex1 camp but this time we went the long way around instead of going through the lake. Once we had amved there we were allo\\ed to choose our donns. We could eltiler stay 111 lofls or rooms. TIle lolls were very hOL, but on tile oUler hand, if you chose a room, you were right next to the teachers! We tilen went for a swim in the lake and had mud wars, whlch was definitcl one of tile rughhg.hts of tile camp. We braaied again tilat night and went on a very exciting nighl hike. Later that evening we had our hot chocolate and tilell went lo sleep At half past six we were woken up and went on a mce run, but tile U1ree last people were given a mud batil, literally!

HOW mE ZEBRA GOTHIS STRIPES Rya.n Magee Aeons ago, when the world had only just come into being, and the animals were still young and the land vastly unexplored, there lived a curious animal that thought very highly of himself He was called Zebra. Back then, when the world was new and the Zebra was relatively young, he had no stripes at all except a white hide. This hindered Zebra very much as in the bush veld everyone could see him a mile ofT, as he had no camouflage whatsoever. This initated Zebra as his friends teased him day in and day out. But soon this was about to change! It started ofT as a normal day in the vast African bush veld with a bialillual Conference of the Animals. This conference was used to address the problem that the animals faced as a whole. The four main members of the Council were the Lion-king of all the animals, the Elephant-wisest of aU the animals in the kingdom, Springbok-the nimblest and quickest thinker the kingdom had ever known, and lastly, Khan-a superior being who looked aller the animals and their interests. The conference got ofT to its usual start and very soon Zebra became bored and tired of the trivial questions that were asked time and time again. He was very glad to see Hare come sprinting along, saying he had startling news. And he did. He s..'ud, "An awful fire has broken out on the north ridge of the bushveld!" Everyone was shocked and the conference was adjoumed so that the animals could go and extinguish the fire. All the animals left to help put out the fire. All but one-Zebra You see, Zebra believed that he should never have to do any work that did not benefit him directly. So he decided to lie down and wait for someone to call him when the fire was out. Very soon he feU ask-ep, as the conference had tired him immensely. When he awoke he was shocked to find himself surrounded by flames that licked upwards to the heavens. For a moment he lost all his sense and ran around like a lost soul. After he managed to pull himself together, the flames had grown even nearer. Zebra scoped the plain and decided the only way through the flames that encircled him was to jump ofT the cliO- slightly to the right of him. He calculated his run-up and then he charged up the clifT Wynberc:

and jumped with a leap of faith. The Zebra flew through the roaring flames that licked his hide and lell scorch marks that were branded into his skin forever. As soon as Zebra landed outside the ring of flatnes he ran straight for the water where he tried to relieve the patl left by the scorch marks. The water hissed as Zebra's hide cooled down. When Zebra returned to the other animals they complirnented him on his markings and said they suited him. This meant that Zebra was never teased again. After his ordeal, Zebra became the storyteller of the animal kingdom as the animals made him repeat his story many times. And that, my friends, is the end of my story. I hope that you have enjoyed it.

MOSHOSHOE AND HUGllIBE The Battle between Desert and Forest Bmee HopkinB It was a sunny Monday afternoon. The trees were green and bright birds were chirping, squirrels dashing up and down trees and serpents slithered.. This beautiful forest belonged to Moshoshoe. Meatlwhile, in the desert the sandstorms howled. the meatl looking side-winding snakes slithered.. Everything was hiding, fighting and TUlUung for survival as Mugambe screruned and boomed, "Moshoshoe, you wiU pay!" Moshoshoe had long hair which was made up of leaves, representing the jungle. He had the power of being able to communicate to the forest animals and they could tell lum who or what was in the jungle. Mugambe had short, twnbleweed-like hair. He was long, thin and very evil and had the power of being able to blend in with the surroundings. Their father gave the land to them. Mugambe would have shared the forest \vith his brother, but he pulled out of school and ran away. On the other hand, Moshoshoe finished his schooling, so his father gave him the jungle of the earth. Mugambe, sitti.ng very lonely on the rock, started talking to a snake. He said, "My brother will give me that land.," not knowing the snake could wlderstand. The snake just hissed. Then Mugambe carried on: ")t's LUlfair that he gets the lorest. I'll sneak into the forest and kill him." The snake slithered off slowly and as soon as it was over the first sand dw1C it slithered at a rapid pace all the way to the jungle. It told Moshoshoe straight away. Moshoshoe told his father atld asked what he should do. His father replied, "I C8lU10t help you on that one, my son. Go to tlle other gods atld ask them for help."

Moshoshoe called on the god of the sky, Beauty. He asked, "My brother wants to kill me so tbat he can have the jungle. Will you help me?" "I will send every bird of the sky to search every inch of the hot desert," Beauty replied. "Thank you," said Moshoshoe as he accepled her help. Then he called on the god of the water, Wiseman. "Will you protect me from my brother as he is trying lo kill me, so that he may take over the forest?" Moshoshoe asked. "You let my river run through your forest, so in return I will help you. I will ask Beauty to let me know when Mugambe is close," replied Wisemar!. Mugambe was not alone. He had called on the other evil gods to help him with his task Mugambe had all the rough animals and people of the desert, as well as the mountain people from the mountain god, Jom!. They were also prepared. Beauty, the god of the sky, had seen the evil desert inhabitants moving towards the jWlgle. The god of water knew the desert animals loved water so he made it rain and ml up a dry lake in the desert. The desert inhabitants stopped and wouldn't leave until every drop of water had been dnmk. Moshoshoe's father who could control almost everything, had to step in. He told the god of the sun, lllando, to make the sun extremely hot for twenty-four hours, and so it was done. The desert animals began to feel the heat and pain. Then, when that was finished, he told the god of waler to make the land on which they walked icy cold, and so it was done. The desert inhabitants couldn't handle the change from extreme heat to icy cold weather in such a short time; many died and some were frozen stilT Mugambe could not pull back. He wenl in for the attack even with the small army that be had The mountain arnly was still in good condition and movlllg III at a very fast speed. The mountain people were strong and made from rock, so again Moshoshoe's father called on Wiseman, the god of water, to replace the sand with water. So it was done. The mountain inhabitants sank to the bottom and were never seen again. The desert inhabitants reached the forest and so the forest inhabitants were forced to fight The forest inhabitants defeated the opposition and Mugambe used his one and only power-to turn invisible. He was never to reappear. The desert still exists today, but it is desolate and lonely, for there is only one person who lives thereMugambe. On the other hand, in the forest., the bird's chirps can still be heard, snakes hiss and the animals are as happy as ever.

THE ESCAPE DILI'lDTaltz Pressure was building up. It was about to erupt anytirne now. I made a run for it. I had no time to spare, every second counted. Finally it appeared in front of me. A door. An escape. I dashed inside, slarruning the door shut. Once doing that, I pulled down my pants with relief.

OUR FllDLYDOCTOR Ke&g1Ul Robinson As I pulled my son from the \VTeckage and carried him all the way to the emergency unit where our doctor was waiting, the doctor said sadly, "I can not treat this boy, he's my son." "You have to, you are our doctor," I rephed pleadingly. My son added, "Please Mom!"

OUR MOUNTAIN Jamie Miller At Wynberg School the mountain is a factor for us. Whenever we come out it is always there like a friend wailing. Its enormous shadow looms over our school so we know it's there, even when il's cloudy. No matter how bad your day is going when you look at it, everything turns righl The mowltain is even in our school song. We have jazz concerts at sundown so we can see the beautiful sWlSel, wruch doesn't even seem real at times, as if you are in a dream.

FIRST EFFORT

Sheldon KDaggs I was thmking about girls when I saw a doggy walking. We had just come from the class where the teacher just kept talking. Idecided to do what Ihad been told o here I go, this is me being bold. The sun is shinjng and I'm feeling glad. llus poetry is not for me, I think it is really bad. So Idecided to sing a little song. You might think il is ugly but Iknow that I'm not wrong. I'm quite good al singing, I was in the choir, you know. You can ask the leacher ... her name is Joe. This poem is getting kind of long so I should really stop. Now I'll be Imown as the only poet that ended his career on top.

attitude, and I am indebted to them for their faithful service. If [ may quote Darron Femandez from one of his Class Captain reports where he SunlS up the Grade 9 situation to perfection: "It was a shaky start to the year with boys from all dilTerent spheres of life, and not knowing where they stood in the class. This, however, has now all changed. The boys respect each other and work together. The class as a whole is starting to excel in all spheres of school life, especially academics. In tlus class, there is a sense of responsibility." Indeed, Darron has turned out to be quite the achiever. His achievements in the swinuning pool deserve mention. He has been selected for tile SA Games team and the National Events squad. If all goes well, he will represent South Africa in Brazil at tile World Championships next year. Wynberg wishes him the very best of in his endeavours. Also on the sports field, Nisa Camagu was selected for tile iJUtial WP Ul5 rugby squad. He has been an indispensable member of this year's U 15A rugby squad, who, I can proudly say, turned the corner towards the end of tile season, \VitIl a strong victory over local rivals Rondebosch Boys' High. The hockey players of Grade 9 played leading roles in botll tile Ul4 and U 16 divisions this year, with both age groups being very successful. TIley definitely appear to be ready to maintain Wynberg's phenomenal hockey standard, with us being placed in tile top five hockey schools in the country. On tile cultural side, the Grade 9's have also been successful. There was a large contribution from Grade 9 towards tile cast of this year's major production, Grease. Edward O'Reilly won tile interclass public speaking competition with tile aid of his dry sense of humour. He has also been a leading academic tIlis year, being placed in tile top ten. Class 9F were the wirUlers of the interclass singing, witll tIleir class captain, Gareth Maggs, leading from the front witll his guitar. Later on this year tIley will compete witll tile wilmers of the other grades to see which class can boast tile best voices in the school. Most probably tile cultural achiever of Grade 9, Byron Carr, has excelled this year ill tile music department He has been an invaluable member of the Jazz Band for tile last two years and his perseverance was rewarded tIlis year when he was selected as the guitarist for the National Schools' Big Band. This is quite an achievement., and the first of its kind by a Wynberg boy. We definitely look forward to hearing much more of him in tile years la come. In closing, I wish tile Grade 9's of 2003 all the best for tile future. They are a very lively and

GRADE9 Grade 9 is generally the time in a young man's life when Mother Nature takes over and begins to spin her chemical magic, changing him physically into a man. We have no control over this process but we are able to contribute towards the social, emotional and academic interactions experienced by him. Wynberg alTers a vast array of opportunities in which some boys gladly participate while others need lo be invited to join in. Our job is to make sure that as many as possible experience oppOltunities so they are able to make an infomled decision on their futures when the time comes. TIle Grade 9's of 2002 have brought their own bundles of joy and challenges with them, but I have no doubt that all of them have benefited from thi.s year and can use it as a foundation for the senior high phases that lie ahead. Life throws negatives and positives at us all the time - the important thing is what we learn from our experiences and how we react the next time. I have learned patience and wlderstanding this year in learning to cope with life in Grade 9 and my thanks go to all the boys and their parents for making this a worthwhile experience for all Mr D Schellck, Grade 9 Head

GRADE 9 ReL REPORT Ry&DAlexander-Silver Badge Prefect The cliché "do not judge a book by its cover" must be used once more, in order to satisfactorily describe lhe Grade 9's of 2002. Despite the flav.Js and scratches that may be apparent on the surface, there exists much potential and opportwlity amongst this group of Wynberg boys. Il is a diverse group with much talent to afTer, and all that is required is guidance assistance to make this group of Wynberg men successful. I am certain that come the end of 2005, lhey will defUlitely be remembered. Six Grade 9 boys stood out from the crowd this year and deserve special mention. They have taken the lead, always setting good examples for their peers and have done a great deal in making my job and the teachers' jobs easier. They are lhe class captains Simon Keevy, Derhaan Agherdien, Waafiq Salomons, Eddie Pekeur, Darron Femandez and Gareth Maggs have done a sterling job, and I see a bright future filled with leadership and responsibility for every one of them in their remainulg years at Wynberg. Their job is not an easy one, fetching messages for the class, keeping discipline and at the same time, trying to earn the respect of their classmates. They have always taken a positive

He got out of bed wide awake. The digital clock displayed three thirty. He limped to the kitchen and opened the fridge. The door yawned open and he struggled to see the contents in the dim light. He took a bottle of milk and drank from it. "You aren't meant to drink from the bottle. We all have to use it." Darryll thought his mind was droning again, but then realised it was his mom leaning on the doorframe in her gown. Darryll stared at his mother blankly with an extended white top lip. He took another sip. "Why are you up? What's bugging you, boy?" his mom asked sympathetically. "Sh ... sh ... ," he sighed, "Shirley found a more, ah, suitable guy."

He had been dealt a powerful blow and he didn't know if he could stand up again. He heard something about his mother's speech: about life's valleys and mountain tops, and how sometimes ugly eagles pao on your peak. He was meant to laugh. He didn't.

OF BEING A TEENAGER Devon van Breda. In everyone's teenage years there will be times of great pleasure and times of great sacrilice or struggle. The overall picture can only be detennined by one's own perception of the topic. As I've heard many people say-hindsight is always the best. In saying this, as well as thinking of years gone by, the moments in my history, which had seemed the worst have actually been some of the highlights. III the same sense, some of the moments which brought excitement and joy have, in tum, caused me to dig my OW11 grave. Let us start with the good. Everyone prefers the good news, don't the? Well, sometimes I wonder about this. If you listen to the news at any time of the day, all they tell you is the bad. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. The good ... \\nat has been good about my teenage years? Um .... Well, there was that time behind ti,e shed. No, wail, maybe I would be able to remember what happened if I wasn't so drugged up at the time. What am r talking abouI'} This isn't good. Was mere any good in my teenage years or was it just one big rebellious struggle? Can we start from the top? I don't think this is going anywhere. I feel so stupid talking to you like this; maybe I'm just too hWlgry to tilink right now. "Stop it! Stop avoidi.ng the subject!" "Yes, you're right." "Well" you were saying ... about your teenage years." "Oh, yes, wn ... skateboarding was good. WUIt! Why am Ieven talking to you? Go away!" The door at the back of the room opened. "What is going on in here?" screamed a short. bald man. UI think we may have to move llim back to a higher security ward. He is lalking to himself again," said anotiler mUll, confemng \\~th the bald one.

The two men left the small room and closed the door behind them. "Now see what you've done. If only your teenage years were cleaner, then we wouldn't even be here."

THE WOODS Luc de Decker Being the youngest in a family of five boys was hard going indeed. While taciturn, Jack was highly intelligent and runicable although few knew of his intellect. His closest friend was a boy named Fred. One of Jack's major downfalls was an anxiety to please. As long as he was asked courteously, he could be persuaded to do almost anything. His devious brothers had been constantly postulating that he venture out and spend a couple of days camping in the forest with them. He knew it to be malign, but helpless, he gave in and went with them. Although a large frunily, they were fairly opulent and had acquired a modest wooden cabin situated in a fair-sized forest a few kilometres away from their home. Of his brothers, only three came along. The fourth, Ron, complained that he wasn't feeling well and therefore he remained at home. Jack knew that something was runiss but didn't let on to his brothers. He new that if the situation grew desperate he could always run home. Inside the hut there were three rooms. Two bedrooms, each with four beds and a cupboard, and a third which had a table, some chairs wld a few crude shelves on the walls. When they arrived they unpacked their things. The three older brothers took the one room and Jack the other. Late one night Jack was just about to fall asleep when a shrill howl from outside made him scream with fear. It was horrifyingly hwnan yel half beast. Jack slowly removed the covers and walked across to his brothers' room. All three of them were wide awake with a look of shock on their faces. At first light Jack bolted straight home. His brothers, showing great fortitude, remained. After he left, Harris, the older brother, went outside with the others and shouted, "Ron! Ron, come out here!" Ron emerged from behind some bushes. "Ron, that was outstanding! You scared him out of his wits!" "You should have seen the look on his face!" exclaimed George. The brotlters remained at the cabin_ During the njght, while tltey were sitting outside around tlte campfire, tltey heard unusual noises coming from the bushes. Suddenly two fearsome creatures emerged, snarling hideously. At once tlte four brothers ran screaming into the forest. Then the one creature said to the other. "How was I Jack?" "You were great., Fred. We scared them rotten!" tlte other replied.

My thoughts are interrupted by a screech., a hooter and then a loud, bellowing voice, "Watch where you're going! You damn, stupid piece of ... " The car rides on, like a shooting star through the night., never to be seen again. This gets me thinking again, about why that car wasn't the last thing I saw. Why didn't it all end right there? I need answers and 1need them now! Nearing home now, but still nowhere near my answer. I see a few other teenagers playing ball. I'll go over and play. "WWtna druk?" comes a question. "We need one more." My reply comes, "Ja, but only for awhile." After an hour and a half I leave. Still no idea about what is what. Who, or what made me? My entire family's Christian; both grwldparents were priests, but what does that make me? Christian, don't I have a choice? Must I conform to what others expect? Isn't it my life, to live how I WWlt? 1 reach home. Mom opens the door. ''Why am I here?" I ask her without greeting. She doesn't have an answer, I caught her off guard, if my own mother can't answer me, then who can? I'll pray, but to who? God? Who is that? How do I know that there is someone, or something, out there? I need proof. I'll get proof Don't care what happens after this, but I need an answer. I get a piece of paper and write the most important letter I've ever written. I end it with, I love you, make my way to the top of the fiat.

It is the year when learners have their fm;t real experience of the senior phase, or Further Education Training band (FET), when the learning curve steepens dramatically and the grown up world is suddenly right in your face. Some Grade 10 learners handle this transition masterfuUy WIth diligence and applied discipline, while others may struggle or falter on their way. It has been our intention to support, instruct ~d direct, as far as possible, aU our learners during this transition. For the learners who discovered that the FET phase at WBHS is not entirely suited to their needs, we provided guidance as to the choices most suited to their future. The school is a reflection of the society from which the learners are draWIl and thus reflects the good and bad of that society. We have with the utmost compassion assisted those learners who have faltered or succumbed to the ills of soeiet and hope that in some small way we have made a positive difference in their lives. We are encouraged by the very large group of learners who have ShOWIlthat this is a group that will provide a rich crop of A aggregates in their matric year I have been Ilnpressed with the willingness of the majority of the grade to become successfully involved in the academic pillar of the school. They have shoWJ1 equal involvement in the cultural and service activities during the year. Grade IDA was placed first in the interclass signing, and then repeated this performance in the intergrade singing event. IDG and F had a 100% record in donations toward an appeal for help by the SPCA. 100 was one of the flrst groups to become involved in a classpainting project. On the [m;t Wednesday of term four the Grade 10 learners departed for two camps. A Biology camp at WortcJgal, and a tented Marine Environmental Education Camp ne rt to Slangkop Lighthouse, Kommetjie. Both camps were successfully concluded and the presentations at both were of a high standarci The tone of the Kommetjie camp was set when the bus stopped two kilometres on the far side of the camp and the boys had a coastal fynbos hike back to Wynberg

WORIELGAI' IN'I'EBIlI CAlrIP REPORT There has been an overwhelmingly positive response to the Grade 10 Biology camp that was held at the beautiful Wortelgat fann campsite. The camp coordinators are very experienced leadership trainers who have a vast array of superb activities at their fmgertips. The boys found themsel~es challenged to cross mud pits on long logs, to build rafts and race them around buoys, to follow a route Ul the pitch dark with minimal moonlight, using only a compass, to walk in silence through the for.:st without torches, using only a guide rope and many other unusual competitions involving group cooperatIOn rather than strength. Many of them discovered that they cold learn to participate more eflectively and at the same time accomplish s lIabus work in the outdoors This was made clear to them as each boy was assessed every day b one of the accompan ing teachers, which gave him an indication of his own progress and illustrated exac~y wh!ch critena an.: required for success. It IS eVIdent that the programme was best kept very full indeed in order to avoid leavulg them time in which to look for mischief to mnuse themselves. A great deal of academic work was completed including carrying out of certain experiments and excursions UltO the various ecosystems to observe the factors being studied in situ. Each spell of 'book work' was broken with a physical exercise or activity to keep alive the sense of learning with involvement and interest while having fun. Issues that arose with boys whose w1derstanding of behaviour or cooperation was not that seen to be suitable were dealt with swiflly and sensitivel , giving them the opportunity to learn to adjlISt in an acceptable marmer and in an atmosphere of concerned, informal exchange with their teachers The general impression of the staff is that they have come to know mld und"'fStand some of the boys a great deal better and the boys have had the chance to see some of their teachers in a different light. We continue to advise that this camp is a very valuable exercise for Grade 10 biologists and feel

that the expense does not being to cover what they receive while there. Future camps will take into consideration that extra food is required for boys of their age. I must thank all those involved in making it such a success.

GRADE tO ReL REPORT Ga.retb Ba.erecke-Silver B&d.gePrefect 2002 has been a very busy year for the Grade ID's at W)"11berg. Grade 10 is the year in which one sets the building blocks for a successful Grade Il and matric year. One has Lo prove one's worthiness of becoming a prefect or being selected for a subcommittee and basically set the mood for what I hope will be rul eventful maLric year. Ln my opinion, both of the above tasks have been completed with flying colours so far by most. The year started ofT on a very good note with an RCL camp. At this crunp we <liscussed our aims, ideas and hopes for 2002. The crunp was also agreal help as it brought the Grade 10 RCL body together. We have had boys achieving in all four of Wynberg's pillars this year. In the sporting field, all U 16 teruns have been very successful. J Robinson

and L Norris-Jones were chosen to represent SA for the U 16 terun and R Halkett made th.e U 18 side. D Telo also <lid Wynberg proud by being selected for the WP cricket terun. Well done to you three, pus all the other achievers. Ou the academic side of things, T Edwards came first in the grade with an amazing 98%. There were also many other outstanding results. All the classes took part serving Wynberg and the community. Some painted classrooms, others helped build houses for the less fortlmate, and one of the classes even played weekly soccer matches \\~th street children. I feel that the majority of the boys gave selflessly to the school and the community. Keep it up! Finally, we reach the cultural pillar, a pillar in which many boys excelled. Many Grade ID's took part in the major production in which many played main roles. On that note, well done to J DickieClarke and E Davis for brilliant performrulces. TIle interclass singing th.is year was a big success. The theme was •colours' and IDA won wi th an outstanding performance of Yellow Subman·ne. Congratulations to all those who participated and achieved in Wynberg's four pillars this year I feel the grade has come together well and I wish you all tile best for your last years as Wynberg.

Sebastian put the gun back into the holster and checked his watch again. Nine minutes till midnight. Enough time for a smoke? He took a packet of Peter Stuyvesant from his pocket. He pulled a cigarette from the packet and put it in his mouth. It took him a couple of seconds to Imd his Zippo lighter. He flicked it and lit the cigarette. The lirst drag tasted of butane. He shivered, took another drag and looked at his watch. Nine minutes and forty seconds. He swore under his breath and put the Zippo in his pocket. The cigarette calmed him a bit, but not enough. He pulled the Beretta from its holster again, checked it and the silencer. The cigarette hWlg loosely from his mouth and he had to squint because the smoke burnt his eyes. Sebastian picked up the gWI from the stair, looked at it and put it down in a smooth motion. He looked to see if his wife and children were stiJl asleep with the cigarette still dangling from his mouth. He checked his watch. Seven minutes to midnight. He got up and walked dow'n the four steps to the front door, and back up the four stairs to where he had been sitting. The stair was wann, if not hot. He picked up his Beretta, loading it and puning the gun back dow'n on the stair. A second later he picked up the barrel of death, uruoaded it and replaced it into his holster. He looked at his watch once again. Not so much praising his last two minutes of miserable life as a hit man. He leant back against the uncomfortable stained blue wooden railing.

AN ENDLESS STORY ABOUT

HOPE AND DEDICATION HU8&1l Hoosa.lD It was a hot summer's aflemooll. The killd of aftemooll at school whell you feel waml alld sticky after coming ;1/ from the last recess of the day and then having to sit in English and listen to Mr Kruger give a lesson about Dick doing Jane and Jane being done by Dick. But these were lessons that had to be learnt as they are supposed to help lIS when we are grown men in the big world and are looking for a job as an English teacher. But luckily I sat near the window, which allowed for a nice cool breeze to come flowing in so r wasn't too irritated b the constant babbling of the leacher. Later in the period it started to become strangely cold. I looked outside to find the sky a miserable grey and overcast with clouds. These were the clouds that usually indicated that something bad was about to happen. Then all my senses went numb as I heard the most despised words from my teacher "600 word short story". These words were like a sharp object piercing my insides, causing immense discomfort. This story would take hours to pull together. As the seconds passed I realised slowly but surely that the story wasn't entirely a bad thing if I wrote a really exquisite and entirely brilliant one. My English mark would get a decent boost, that's for sure. One thing I had never done before was write a really good story but this would be m chance lo. This piece was to become my destiny. Suddenly I was cmell brought back to realit b the words "for next Wednesda" and almost instantly the piercing pain retumed. This would mean I would have less than a week to create my masterpiece. I would have to put m gears into overdrive and begin straight away. I began by brainstonning, trying to figure our what m story would be about. It tumed out that no matter how hard I tried, I JUS! was not able to l:0ll1C up with a single original idea. It was as though all the ideas were whizzing around in my mind and I had to make sense of it all. For the rest of the days to come before the deadline I was plagued by the fear that I would not complete m story. I spent every single spare minute of time on my story and pondering great ideas for it. I even went as far as spending breaks in the library, hoping that an idea would absorb into my head from all of the surrounding books and nerdy geeks. I was totally inspired for this task for the first time, but I was also totally uninspired with an idea whatsoever!

really believe it. But looking at us a body now-the dilTerent is monumental! By throwing water (amongst other things) at each other we are coming closer and closer alJ the time to the brotherhood that is Wynberg matric. And just to take a step back and observe is astoundingour cheerleaders' inception, for example, has been amazing. It is still early days but they are working very hard and our support can and will onJy rise. One of the most important results of the Grade Il camp was the coining of our matric mott<r-'Simply the Best'. In descn bing our camp one of the teach~rs called it "one of the best". This was then refmed to" imply the Best" by Phelo Nongalaza. Thanks, man. Special thanks must go to Mr van Schalkwyk who took over from Mr Inglis at the last minute, all the teachers and Mr Botha, who somehow managed to cook for 150 people.

Martin Fischer My thoughts wander much as I am about to, yet 1 vacillate, hesitating before putting one foot in (ront of the other to begin this journey of mine. Waiting because of regret, possibl hope, and yet 1 find myself unable to defrne the emotion as clearly or as concisely as I desire. Certainly I am filed ~th much of both of these emotions as I pause in recollection. However, in this wait other sensations invade my awareness. The rich loamy smell of the fresh earth. even in its competition with the less savoury manure, was slowly moving into my nose. My mind, however, is detennined to create scents wholly unrelated to my present location. TIle rich smeIJ of her hair and the luxurious scent of the perfume she so loved to wear, all of this running through my mind even as I quickly banish these thoughts. llle banishment, however, is not fast enough to prevent the waves of despair that sweep through to my very soul. Much as the scent, other sensations also tug at my consciousness. Colour that slowly leeches into my world despite my desire to have it othen~se. My eyes accustom themselves to the brilliant dawn that spreads itself across the sky. This beaut is not what 1 \~sh. I long for the bleak empty landscape of night, a place far more akin to my present mood. lllus 1 am further tortured by traitorous senses, but oh, that word, even in my melrulchol ramblings of thought I am struck down. Even \~th that simple bit of musing my world spirals in on itself as 1 am struck by the very thought of her. llle crisp taste of the apple on my tongue lransforms itself into the sensuous taste of her lips as lhey caress ,rulle in a feather light embrace. Yet even as I push these drunning thoughts aside I run attacked by other tastes, rich tastes of meals and fancies that we shared and the joy that accompanied them. In my despatr I strive for anything that \\111 divert my thoughts from lhe ever-sinking spiral into which I have slipped. I settle on the rough feel of myoid travelling jerkin. Here, too, I am not safe because in the unJikeliest of contradictions 1 am grabbed by the contrast between this coarse material ruld the velvety touch of her skin. Once again I must fight for my sanit and I seek the only place whcre 1 have been able to find true solac~. I haul my lute out from across my back and place m callused fingers on the humlrung strings. llle gentle melody that fills the air is a buITer against the vengeful thoughts that assaiJ me, a salve to my much-burned heart.

of a lover of a completely different natw"e. The gentle tones that fill my throat fonn a balm that in its soothing natw"e allows me to once again revel in my one true talent and those tones soon become the opening notes of a song. Now gathered in this protective cloak I am able to confront those terrible memories. As I am assaulted by the harsh realities of her betrayal and this terrible betrayal of the love that I professed, I rally and manage to hold finn. I realise that though this betrayal will never be far from a stray thought, I will be able to go on and even as this long night comes to an end so, too, does my despair. But still I must hesitate and try to stem the wanderlust that she so indecently awakened in me, hoping that I might catch a chance chord of her beautiful voice, begging forgiveness, but knowing this greatly desirable but ultimately damning event would only ever be spawned by my imagination. Finally, I an restrain myself no longer and must set myself on the long lonely road of a wandering minstrel once again, while at the same time I \\iave to an early fanner coming into the city and chuckle to myself about these silly thoughts of mine about imaginary things such as true love and a deeper meaning as I do.

IHEJOURNEY Gregory Da.y I can't decide where it started. Was it the instant that the guard came to my cell, a look of indifference on his face as he passed an envelope through the cold steel that had restricted me for so long? Was it the key turning in the lock, a twice daily occurrence, though never this late at night? Or is it right now, as I wear myoId clothing, handed in upon arrival, now a clown suite hanging about my starved frame. The shoes still fit, though. A chuckle rises in me as I move to the shaving mirror of my square cell. Look ut me, a'i I try to think of rn self twenty-two years ago. What am I now? A mere sbadow! The chuckle breaks out into laughter, which echoes past the other ft ve cells in my corridor. It was none of those. Perhaps the journey to freedom was the walk out of my corridor, through an already-opened door, past all the guard posts between a shackled existence, and the freedom of twenty-three years ago. Wait, it was twenty-two. Yes, I've said that already. Strange how each guard, in all his obesity, nodded his head as I walked through their opened door, each with a knowing smile. I knew what they were doing, and kept quiet., and thus enjoyed a relatively easy prison life. One guard, two guards, three. Creased blue uniforn1s and doughnut grease under their chins. Another chuckle,

one of contempt at these amoeba, though at the same time also approval at their corruption. No, disapproval at their lack of corruption. The things I could have taught them! The last guard at the surveillance area. The one who had handed me the letter of approval of my parole. Still, a look of indifference on his face, an angry body trapped beneath the badge less uniform. He wasn't going anywhere, too much textbook being churned out of a young mind. The other guards put him furthest away from the prisoners for fear that they themselves might be caught. Pathetic fool! His joumey was one that had ended the moment he was born! Mine was just starting, the red carpet of open doors and corrupt oflicials beckoning me to the playground of the real world! The last door was glass and overlooked the neat parking area, deserted at this late hour. The neat white lines on the tam1ac were a farce. Nowhere inside this building is anything that organised! The parking area is a model of order in itself I opened the eight-foot high hinged perspex and stepped out into the real world. The guard who had accompanied me thus far did not step outside. I had been given all my possessions already and there were no fonnalities here. I felt freer than he looked as I tumed around and watched mist form on the glass from my breath. Full-blown laughter erupted from within me. I was never really trapped in jail! Oh. the guards are trapped by their supposed job, but I had always been free! A new, different journey was starting, though. Now with the shatterproof door behind me, I looked at the taxi in the neat parking area. I liked this taXi. It had parked across two parking spaces. Even though there were no other cars, as visiting hours were over, I liked the breaking of rules that was taking place. I noticed the trees behind the white vehicle; trees that made my decade's effort look stupid! I walked around the taxi to the passenger side door, opened the door and got in, looking straight ahead. I was calm. The driver turned to me, someone whose shape is reminiscent of the person I was twenty-four years ago. No, twenty-two years. I tumed to look at him and recognised my good friend's face. "So you're a taxi drive now, eh?" I said, mockingly. "Nope, and neither is he!" Laughter erupted from us both and we looked at the body of the laxi owner, slumped between the back of the driver and passenger seats, and the backseat., with his head on my side. The car was started by my partner in crime, who pulled slowly out of the parking area. I laughed again. M Joumey had started!

more warlike cIan wanled the caves and tlle verdant grazing lands for themselves. They had no human with them, although it would not have mattered anyway. A male of the tribe walked over to my hollowedout quarters as I marvelled at the form of a being, alien to us hwnal1s, whose eyes had seen nothing difrerent in a sentient being for thousands of generations. Just the thought itself astonished me. A feature I noticed-because il was my job lo do so-was tlle gradual recession of tlle hairlines of aU individuals with each successive generation. The climate was wanning gradually as the complicated celestial mechanics of Pleiades-4 brought it ever closer to a cl.imax of a five thousand year cycIe where the light and heat of the six sister SWlS reached a maximum on the tiny world. Another was the slightly feline facial features which matched tlleir agile, lithe bodies. This, as well as tlleir tail, was gradually disappearing. The race insisted on sitting dov.11, or at least crouching, while holding even tlle shortest conversation. The custom had tlle purpose of freeing tlle mind of anxieties, since they still had relatively simple i.ntellects. It irritated me i.nunensely, though tlleir peace of mind was useful in persuading them to do just about anythulg. This was no exception. We talked-if you call the most basic English and sign language talking-and decided to leave in three days. I decided to move lhe tribe south although I would be careful to avoid the higher concentration of technology. The new monitoring station, Frontier, occupying its own pennanent spot in the night sky had almost no intention of helping me: tlle people on board were all, in my mind, incompetent and disintere~ted in the whole experiment. Those thoughts, as well as many otllers of trepidation and anxiety about tlle safery of tlle tribe occupied my mind tllat first night-the flIst of many that would shape the future of the tribe. The stars, especially the six, sere out in full tllat night and they brought a little peace to me~ tllere were like a good omen. If there was one thing tllat would make me stay on this rock, it was tlle brilliant., starry, alien sl.1' tllat nighL One ratller wlfemarkable one in particular would make sure of that.

THE JOURNEY Geoffrey Mulder ·'Son." My father's voice echoed down the passage of our quarters in the space station, Yo/ande. "Son," he called again. He fowld me in my room, studying. "Michael, I have a sw-prise for me." "What is it?" I asked eagerly. "It is what you have always wanted; your very own tribe," he replied., just as excitedly. I awoke with a start on my grassy bed in the slowly brightening cave. "If I could bend the rules just a little bit and help the inhabitants of plant Pleiades-4 I would help them invenl comfortable beds," I mused. I though I about the dream I had just had whi.le I ale a simple breakfast prepared by the females of the tribe. As I thought about it, I began lo dislikemaybe even hate-my falher more and more for leaving me alone on this planet. It was not the dream that caused these feelings but the fact that abandoned his family when he left the Yo/ande on his flight of fancy. It was not, however, hi.s faull that tlle Yo/ande exploded in mid-space a few months after my landing on tlle planet's surface, leaving no survivors. I did not actively try and remove the feelings from my mind, but ratller replaced them with more pressing matters, like saving the tribe from imminent destruction .... Before I proceed any further a brief history lesson is needed: lo the year 2207 Eartll received a coherent radio signal from an alien race. We had space hyperdrive capabiliry, so we went to lhe source of the signal. All we found was an undisturbed planel, largely similar to Eart.h, orbiling a star in the Pleiades system. although this much is, as yet, unimportant. The planet was populated with a primitive, humanoid race on tlle northern, semitropical continent. They were clearly not the creators of tlle signal, but nonetheless an incredible find. The scientific community decided to set up a monitoring station (tlle Yo/al/de) wld have a few people on tlle planet's surface mixing with the race lO watch over tlleir progress.

It was one of those patches that found its home on that little cabin. The cabin was made of wood. It had small black windows-giving away nothing. Arowld it was a clearing of dust, dust and rocks. Although the clearing was bare it did not seem sorry for itself, it was proud to be barren-it was created thus. The forest was alive with animals and aIJ that-but it is not important. The green moss, or was it lichen? Moss. The green moss on the roof was an island. The windows were still loyal. There was some sort of noise coming from the cabin. It sounded like tinny elevator music, but on

A fleck of spil from the death rattle of the eighties had managed to transcend popular opinion, time and common sense, and land in this barren clearing. How quaint.

It is difficult for me to ascribe a corporate Identity to this year's matrics-tIlere were so man)' talented Uldlvlduals v,,;tIl such diverse interests. but If 1 \\ere pressed to do so.

get all of the luck?" I have always thought carefully about this and have come to some sort of rough conclusion. I agree with the statement, "Everybody is special in their own way" etc. It caJUlOt be denied. There is, however, one factor that balances the scales. It makes us all equally disadvantaged, or advantaged, depending on how you look at it. And that factor is-PROBLEMS. You would, of course, be lying if you said you did not have any. I think that your ideal personality is weighed down by the problems or 'obstacles' in your life. TIle reason we think that people are better than us is because we only know about our problems, but have no idea of theirs. One thing that you must be totally aware of is that you, as a person, do change the lives of others. Most of the lessons that are leamt in life come about becaus..: of an encounter with another person. Some of the lessons, however unpleasant or painful, will II1decd make us stronger 111 character. That is why it is important to take risks in life. That does not mean to do something stupid that could ruin the rest of your life. lllis is where some people are bitten by the jagged teeth of reality. If you think about it, nobody is immune to everyday dangers, even if you think you have strong willpower. Maybe you can say no to drugs or alcohol, but just think of a situation wht:rc you are reall unhappy or stressed out. Win you then say no, if presented with these 'problem solvers' by the devil m disguise? Violence is somethuIg that cannot be uvoided in this COWl try. It cunnot be ignored. It can happen at anyJime and at an. place. Not only do we have to deal with UIe 'usual' everyday pressures, but we also have to distulguish right [rom wrong. It is truly amazing hO\ much one has to process eVt:ry day of his/her life. Most people seem to take ..:v..:rything in Uleir ·tride and live life to the fullest, while others jLL~tcomplain about their situation, but do not do a thing to change or rectify it. We are on this earth 10 achieve, to make a difTerence, to learn l..:ssons [md to haw fUll. This is sometimes ditTicult because of hard work and outside pressures. Sometimes I just f"t:d like shouting, "Stop the world, I want to gd oil'" I·Iow Jo you feel?

AT THE END OF A PERFECT DAY Grant de la Mare The Jay started out like an other, apart from the wonderful feeling of excitement and anticipation that tilled my body and made me want to explode into song. I drew buck my curtains and revealed a magniticent collage of green, pink, yellow and blue.

And as I wiped the sleep [ram my eyes I was overwhelmed by the beautiful scent of the wild jasmine that hWlg lazily from the window areh. As the SWl'S fLrSt golden rays fell gently on my face I could not stop thinking that today was going to be perfect. As 1 arrived at school for the last time that ear, everybody seemed to be filled with the same happiness and excitement that filled me. loe time at school flew by except for the Headmaster's extremely boring and monotonous assembly about something of no great importance to me or to anybody else sitting in the sweltering heat of the school hall. urprisingly, this did not bother me too much because Iwas busy mastering the art of talking without moving my lips and organismg the plans for the beach that afternoon. And so at the end of what seemed an etemity, we were dismissed and freed [ram our temporary prison. Never before have the words uttered by the Headmaster brought about such a feeling of ecstas and relief to me as they did that morning. And as I walked casually down to the bottom car park I saw hundreds of smiles flashing this way and that as blazers were discarded and top buttons Wldone to brulg a tiny bit of relief to the overheated bodies. I climbed eagerly into my car and started the engule. A fresh, cool breeze of air flowed out of UIe air vents, bringing with il a huge sigh of relief because for UIe following six weeks I was free. I turned the knob of UIe car stereo up full blast as the familiar twle of my favourite song drifted over the airwaves and I grabbed the red-hot iron of a steering wheel and raced homewards, singmg "SUlluner of '69" at the top of my voice. After a quick energy refuelling and carboloadulg at home, I joumeyed forth to pick up my mates to go to the beach for a few relaxing hours of touch rugby and flirtation ..vith beautiful girls UI minute bikinis. The beach was to become our home away from home over the follo\ving six weeks, where we would spend cowltless hours absorbing the sun's rays and eonsluning copious runowlts of 'happy juice'. My heart skipped a beat when the love of my life slipped sexily into ilie passenger seat and I found myself wishing I could hold her for fue rest of my life. The boys were all waiting at Bunny's house and they clambered into UIe car, cracking a few cold ones as we drove ofT. When we arrived at the beach the golden sand and royal blue sea looked even more beautiful than I remembered. The sand was warm ruld fine, the sea was cool and revitalising. Those glorious hours Oe\ by ruld soon we were lazil conversing in a small circle of friends.

I could imagine that the new youngsters sitting with their parents, neally dressed in their school uniform. would very soon say farewell 101heir parenis and start a new life as boarders. I can now reOect and ay that they have grown from insecure individuals to confident young men. 1-10 lel life has made a huge impact on these boys. and they will all urely remember their day in Lilllewood as they reminisce about their days as boarders. I am saying farewell to Littlewood and ilverhursL aller spending five wonderful years with stafr and pupils-memories of many highlights and incidents I will remember for a long time. ome fine Wynberg

During the Grey PE weekend Ihe hostel boys decided to do fundraising tor a 0 TV satellite tor Littlewood. The marrons.

• BADMINTON Teacher-in-Charge: Mr B Grcenwood

PLAYER CRITIQUE Julian Vincent was unbeaten at number one in the league and was only beaten in two out of ten doubles matches. He was a steady leader. but had to share his time with golf commitments on Mondays.

Manager: Mrs J Goodwin Coach: Mr

IJavies Keitb Nimmo was our regular number two and was only beaten twice in singles and three times in doubles. He worked hard at practice and was an example lo others.

Captain: Julian Vincent This season has been one of new beginnings and development as 13 of our 26 players in the very successful 200 I season ~ ere matrio; or not available this year. including 6 orthe top 8 player. Our early season practices soon sorted out our top teams and new enthusia~tie players were learning skills at a rapid rate. We were not able to obtain lhe services ol" a studenl coach and so wc wc re dependent on Mr Davies' experience as player and coa h to develop the new and experienced pla)ers. TIle school"s premier leagues included orthem ,'uburhs and country schools in two enlarged super pools. Our tirst team convincingly beal the two I orthcrn uburbs leams in tht: It:aguc and had two very close games ~ ith Crest way and ed Noman. \\ inning the first and lo ing the second by the odd game after a 4-all split in matches. We were also beaten narrowly by a combined side of SAC pla)t:r wilh olher schools' players. Our match wilh Malmesbury. 10 be played at 'tellenbosch. unl"ortunately was scheduled for a . aturday morning and our players were unable to play. rhe second round of matches was changed into an l:xperimental knockout \vhere wc won our first round maleh bUI were beaten in Ihe semi-finals and had a walko er in the third place playolT. Thl: firsl l~ included Julian Vincent. Keith immo. Martin Fischer and Angus Innes. wilh Rodney Ilanssen and Daniel Giles as the regular reserves.

Martin Fiscber normally played number three and his dedication in playing. while not well. was an inspiration although hi health suITered for a while. lie was only beaten twice in singles (once when he should not have played) and won hal r his doubles matches. Angus Innes played number lour and was only beaten once in singles and won eight ol" his twelve doubles. lie was very helpful in assisting coaching the junior players. Rodney Hanssen was only beaten once at number one in the second term, mainly against other school . first learns. and had a very successful doubles combination with Grant ampbell, being unbeaten after losing once in their first match together. He was ery helpful in coaching and playing with the members orthe lower teams. Grant Campbell won most orhis doubles matches \ ilh Rodney and two other players. He won tive of his seven singles games at number two. Daniel Giles was our roving utility player and played in the first and second teams. He was unbeaten in singles and doubles while playing at three or tour in the second team and only lo t occasionally when pia ing in higher places. nfortunalel . he spent hal f his possible practice time on the rugby field but was very enthusiastic and helpful \~hen at badminton.

Robert de f'Jorenca started badminton last ycar and improved by leaps and bounds. He was unbeaten in his singles matches and although he lost his nrst four doubles matches. he won the next six. Oominic Meulemans had a good start to the sea<;on. being unbeaten for the first few weeks until he had a foot injury and his game suffered after that. He was very helpful in playing with and coaching the junior players at practice. The second team included the tirst team reserves with Grant Carnpbell. Dominic Meulemans and Robert de Florenca. They had six good wins mainly against other schools' A tearns and were beaten only once in the league and once on a very close point count in the knockout finals. The third team included Ray van Brcda Clement Carr. Anzio Abels and reserves fTom the second, fourth and fifth tearns. They had two good wins and one loss with several opponents unable to meet their fixtures. They won their first round knockout easily. but were beaten on a point count in the semi-finals. The fourth and fifth teams included two players who had played in their Grade 8 year and thirteen other new players. lne)' were split into seven Grade 10 and II's who made up the fourth tearn and reserves, and eight Grade 8's and 9's who became the fifth tearn and reserves. Both tearns played in the 2C league. The fourth tearn members were selected from Nicholas Bowler. Andrew Byme. ej) Allen. Ryan Swanich. Luke Boshoff. Dale Eadie and Peter Slater. and they were unbeaten through the season until the final fixture which was equal on matches and garnes and the point count went 104-103 to the opponents. The Grade 8 and 9 (fifth tearn) was selected from Richard Bolland. Langdon Batl. Chris Milne, Grant Oliver. Rick Irwin. Craig Fitzgibbon. Darin Taitz and Sergio Luil.. They won three matches and were beaten by W}l1berg fourth tearn and one other school. lne fourth tearn reserves beat the fifth reserves on two occasions. All these new players improved in leaps and bounds and many could hold their own in other schools' first tearns by the end of the season--their enthusiasm is most encouraging for the future of badminton at W)l1berg.

"Ine II. Top chools Tournament was not organised this year and our first team should be a leading contender by the end of next season as they are all in Grade 11 this year.

Wynberg

The last practice was played as a round robin fTiendly house match competition with some staff and parents helping the houses which were hort of players. De Waal was the only tearn that had all their eligible players present. Martin Fischer and Richard Bolland played well in the singles while Ray van Breda and Andrew Byme were unbeaten in the doubles. They were equal top with Van Riebeeck which needed help from Mr Davies and a Rhodes player as two of their four-man tearn were missing. Julian Vincent and Daniel Giles were unbeaten in their singles while Mr Davies and Darin Taitz were only beaten once. Wellington was also short of some top players but managed third place with the following: Craig Fitzgibbon. Chris Milne. Dominic Meulemans and Luke Boshoff. Neil Allen and Grant Oliver played well for Littlewood with support from Mr Allen and Mr Greenwood in the doubles to claim fourth place. Rhodes had the strongest team on paper but three of their top four players were unavai lable and Angus Innes. Anzio AbeIs. Langdon Batt and Rick In... in played all their fixtures without too much success. The Old Ao) matches took place at the John Tyers Hall on Wednesday 3rd eptember and the usual exceptionally strong Old Boys combinations showed the learners a lesson while having fun and renewing fiiendships. lne Old Boys fTom 1947 to 200 I teamed up in doubles partnerships and contributed to a wonderful finale for the season. The Old Boys were represented by Arthur and Ronaid Ridge. Chris Merrington. Gareth Da ies. Brendon and Mark Geary. Rob Williarns and Darryn McBain and supported by Mike Lumb and Royand Bruce Clark. with apologies fTom Sam Pearon. Craig Nairn. Derek Watling. Andy ymmonds. Theo Yach. Robin Wucherpfenning, Mathieu CoquilIon. Da id Wilson. Duncan I\nderton and others. Mr Richardson and Mr Greenwood paired up for the Old Boys. as over 25 years' involvement with the school each should make them eligible to be an 'Old Boy' and they completed the successful results of doubles and some singles garnes. The season has had its ups and downs. but the steady emciency of Mrs Goodwin and ready help from Mr Davies have made all pass smoothly.

III closing, I would like to thank the team-they were a pleasure to work with. It will be interesting to see how they build on this year as most of them will be back. AJso, thanks to Mr KnowIes for all his help. Mr Knight as the MJC of cricket, for his support and Terry Watkins-Baker and the parents for the lunches and support.

Player Profiles Wonga Matshabane (Captain, Blues) Wonga was a tine captain who always front. He did some great things with ball, but perhaps was not consistent t.:t.:rtainl has b..:en a loyal servant cncket.

led from the both bat and enough. He for Wynberg

Jonathan Watkins-Baker (Vice-captain, Blues) Jonathan has had a fantastic all-round year. He played some fine innings-notably against Bishops and Grae::me College-but it was with the ball that he was a revelation, taking 57 wickets. Khaalid Mooradd (Colours) Khaalid played some tine knocks but never found the consistency he is capable of. He is a fme team man.

Karl-Heinz Ehrenreich (Blues) Karl had a very good first year taking over 60 wickets. His strength is that he is very accurate However, he musI learn to be patient and not try too hard. Dcvin Stanton (Colours) Devin is a cleUll hitter of the ball Ulld as long as he hits it in the V he is very effective. If he WUllts to develop he must improve his footwork Richard Levi (Blues) Richard has the potential to dominate attacks and I believe he CUllscore I 000 runs nex1 year. He aJso has a wonderful pair of hands. Mareo Brown Marco came into the te..'un late and has the potential to become a good all rounder. Dudu Ndimande Dudu played a key roll in \ViJUung the Limited Over competition. He could play a big role in tile teUln next year.

Milva Mlljikija (Blues) Mava was our only real wicket-taking seam er. He t.:t!rtainJy bowled some dcvastatlllg spells. He is also a wonderful tielder. Phillip Haupl (Blues) PhIllip has improved his batting a lot scoring the second most runs. He certainly showed a lot of guts atlilllt.:s and does not give it away. Dean Oo~tel'wyk (Colours) Dean bowled very ~ ell in the early part of the season bul al1..:r all injury he battled and was lUJable to get any laleral movement. Dominic Telo (Honours) Dominic is a wonderful cricketer. Tlus year has broken every Wynberg record. When he is batting well it looks like a man among boys. The big test will be of how he can build on this. Courtney Chase (Colours) Courtney IS improving all lhe lime. beautiful shape:: and as he:: gelS becolllt.: lJ top bO\ Ier I !.is batting solid and on many an occasiou he together.

Summary of results: Played 10 Won 5 Lost 5 This was an entertaining season with the boys thoroughly enjoying their cricket. In spite of SOllle matches being called otT because of poor weather or opposition schoolsJclubs not being able to field a side, some good cricket was played and some fine perfonnances recorded. Wynberg is in the enviable position of being able to field so many sides at U 19 level but oflen this has worked against lIS as generally these tlrree teams were playing other schoolslclubs I st, 2nd or 3rd teams. This resulted in three tk:linite mismatches (vs Rondebosch. Zwaanswyk .Uld , tarlight Eagles). Some or the better perfonnances

I have rard had a team which produced such a good set or results, having promised so linie at the start of the y..:ar TIlis was, therelore, a most rewarding tearn 10 coach and I hope that they go on to greater things

in senior cricket in their last couple of seasons at Wynberg and beyond. U 15 cricket is tile ear, very allen, where boys develop the 1110Stin a season and the diflerence in their approach and all-round perfonnance over the course of the year was marked. It was in the field that this tearn won its games. They developed the capability to put opposition teams under pressure arld then to take their chances. Ironically, on marly occasions poor batting. setling an awkward total for tile opposition to clulSe. initiated this pressure. In Goodchild arld Siboto we had a very elfectlve and accurate pair of opeJung bowlers, witll the pacJer duet of Mel.:uto aJld Topley to back them up when needed. It WJS, however, the spin of Main. WatkinsBaker and, latterly, of Schonfnrcht. wluch gaiJlt:d thl: wickc!ts. Generally, U 15 cJickders in this l<::ague were very poor at playing accurale spin bowling. and tIlCSe!when the ball went in the air we tt.:nded to catch our eatches. Dasneves also developed into a very pronUsing wicket-keeper during the year. We scored more than 150 on only two occasions all season despite the fact that we usuall balted l'or at least half the: day! Also, everyone in the: lcam had the ability to be a top order batsmaJl. Amazingly for the coach it was sometimes hard to convince the 'better' players to bat up the order' TIle best batsman maJlaged to look good but had trouble dominatillg an attack. Topic, Main, I)asllc!ves, Siboto éU1dMekuto all pla ed anc or two iJU1JJlgS. which demonstrated that they could play I SI Tl:am cricket in the li.Jturc!. Souter balled againsl Ihl: ne,\ ball tlrroughout the season without ..:ver capitalising. on the hard work he put in-we hope for better results there next year. Others to shine witll the bat were VanJl (in one shortened knockout game) and Goodchild, who got beller and bet!.!r as the season progressed. El had a regular place ijl the t<::amas Uil all-rounder who always gave 100% und put in some very useful perfomwnces with bOtll bat arId ball. Overall, this team which enjoyed tlleir cricket, had a very good spirit arld were captained thoughtfully by Main and, on occasion, by Topley. There is a lot of talent here, and they, ere luch to benelit from a tour to Graaff-Remet in (ktobcr 111 which they did very well. They have been extremely well supported in every sense by their parents, who rallied round to ensure that that tour was a success. I would lik..: to pa a special tribute to Mrs Mail I for all the lime and eOort she put in co-ordinating and orgaJlising most thiJlgs around tllC cricket-almost everything apart from marking. out the \\!lcke!! Our thanks g.o to Cluis Haley and his team for keeping tlmt side of tlli.ngs up to the usual high staJldard.

In the 'grand slam' of hockey (retun! matches aga1l1st the hoys' schools in Cape Town) we remaJlled unbeaten this year, heating SACS twice (80, J-O), and \\imung one each against Rondebosch (3-0, 0-0) and Bishops (2-1, 0-0). 111is record highlights the fact that we are currently at the top of boys' school hockey and must strive to remain there. The knockout competition proved very rrustrating for us this year. Ln the first three rounds our opposition conceded the matches so we did not gl.!t to pluy until the semi-finals. Our semi-final agamS1 BIshops was a tense afTair. Being 1-0 dowlI for 48 minutes or normal time before an equaliser from Robinson. Extra time proved to be our forte on lhis occasion witll Wynberg coming out final \VItUIers4-2.

At J-l up \Vith twelve fI1111utesto pia one cannot afford to make care!t:ss mistakes, not\\'lthstanding the fact that the Pinelands goalkeept.--r made nine saves in the first ten lrunutes of the second half.

TIlis was one of the best seasons for some of the players. Not only did good resulls make il n successful season, bUI friendslups helped to improvt! team spirit.

Sean Rouse (link, WP VISB (captain), Blues) An e'tremely solid, defensive left link. can's abilily lo break dovm opposilion altacks was a great assel to lhe team. To improve, he needs lo develop a stronger abilily 10 move forward in lighl spaces, and nOl lO alwa s look lO pass backwards.

Leanung lo score Wlder pressure and in "half-home" siluations will make lum even bener. Adrian Jennings (striker, WP VIS8, Colours) The striker i.n our leam who undoubledly makes the biggesl eITon to fulfil the defensive role of tilis position.

Craig Ellis (right half) Craig is a very solid player. He reads the game well, is strong on the ball and cool under pressure. If he gets litter he could be a very good provincial hockey player and a stalwart of Wynberg hockey. Matthew Edwards (right link) Matthew has a lot of potential but he did not assert himself as much as he could have. As he develops more physically, he could become a big force nex1

year. Lolly Siboto (left link) Lolly has improved a lot. He is very strong on the ball and nulS very hard. In order to take the next step lorward he will have to become more aware on the fidd. Etienne Davis (centre link) Etienne is a fine all-rowld player. He was our best member and the key to our performances. I have little doubt that he will pia 1st team next year. ZiyaaLl baacs (left wing) Ziyaad has come on in leaps and bounds. He has a lot of pace and his positional play improved. It is nice to have a young man in the team who clearly loves his hockey. Grant Hawkins (centre forwarLl) Grant has a lot of skill and could be a very good player. The one lesson he will have to leanl is that the team comes first. It would be sad if he wasted his vast talent. Farell Benjamin (right wing) Farel! po sesses some great natural assets and certainl has a bright future-on his day he can leave defenders standing. The t\Vo things he \\~ll have to improve on in order to take the ne t step up are Ius filushing and positional play. Robert Smyly (link) Robert's hockey has come on a lot.

The U 16B side proved throughout the season to be a highly spirited and talented group of boys. They were ably captained b 'Smile' who I would like to thank personally for his 100% conunitment and etTort from the first game right through to the last. Once the side had settled down it was fantastic to see the strides forward that each player made individually, and more importantly, as part of a team unit. For me, witnessing a group of youngsters pulling together on a Saturday moming and carrying out what we practised at training the week before was one of the most pleasing aspects of the season. Highlights have to include tlle double \~n over Bishops, the late come-back against Rondebosch on grass, and the many well executed team goals scored throughout the season. I really enjoyed coaching UUs group and wish Ulem every success in UIe future. I look forward lo being part of the Wynberg coaching staIr again next year.

TIle team is a group of ex1:remely eager bo s who, despite the front some of them tried to portray, actually enjoyed playing hockey. Each individual had his own special ability which in some way added to the team's success, thus making every Saturday moming a special event and an experience 111 itself This group of oung players, \~m the correct guidance, training and attitude, have the ability to achieve that special level that makes a spon enjoyable. They may never play in the top teams but tlleir approach to me game will ruwa sensure Uleir enjoyment when tlley play.

An enthusiastic group of VIS's started the season and competed against players in a higher age group and higher teams. Soon our boys were taught what Supera Moras really means to them: every time they pia cd, they showed their opponents and the spectators that Wynberg men never give up. Although the scoreboard does not reflect a very good season, these boys showed enthusiasm and guts. 1 salute them for that.

short tenn, bULhopefully il will pay dividends in the end. The U16's were the only age group to master this new approach. We again hosted the annual Rugby Evening at False Bay Rugby Club with 12 top schools participating. The lournament is not about providing a wumer, but as an early season trial or wann up. Again it was a great success. A number of our boys made representative teams: WP U15 Training Squad: Nisa Comagu WP U16 Regiona.1 Team: L le JOMson TelT) Jacobs Roberta Talotti WP UtS Regional Team: Brendan Leask Daniel Wessels Lyk Classen (also selected for the Stonners U 18) The following need to be thanked: • FNB for their generous sponsorship of R25 000 for "The Classic Clash". • William Simpson Nissan for their generous sponsorshi ps. • the stafT tor all their coaching efforts. • Mr Alan Gerber for organising the refs. • Mr Hudson-Bel1Jlett and his team of fIrst-aiders who do an outstanding job on Sarurday mornings. • Mr Haley for his work on the growlds. • Mr Knowies for all the administration. • Mr Pretorius for organising the rugby evening. • all the parents, old boys, staff and others who ref on alurday mornings

Gregory Lukasiewicz (II), Dewl Oosterwyk (5). TetruJga Lenga (I), Darren Renton (3), Barry Napier{S) Nothing ill life comes easily and this was certainly the case for the I st Team this season. The group was not overly blessed with talent and soon learned that they would have to work hard to be compelitive at top level. The ingredient which was completel lackillg ill the team was experience-all IS I st Tewn players were ill matric last year and we therefore had to start from scratch! Training started in the first week of the first teml on Wednesda mornings and Sundayallernoons. wld all 100 soon winter was upon us and there was still a great deal to be done. The tour to JohuJUlesburg saw us lose all three matches, but the process of gaining experience had begun. A SO point loss to Allies was an eye-opener, but the fmal match against KES was decided on penalties and was a much improved anuir. We returned 10 Cape Town wld started the season air with a spiriled v in against Drostd but then injuries struck and we struggled to gel going. As the season progressed, the tewn picked up victories here and there, producing flashes of what we always kne\ they could do, but never sustailled a spell of good fonn. The experience thaI the hoys gained fmally came through in the last 4 matches ~f the season when we proved to be competitive against the best ill the COWltry, narrowl losing to Bishops and thell drawing with SACS ill the Derb . The boys never abruldoned the principle of ruMing the ball, worked hard in training to improve their skills and certainly all were better players at the end of the season. TIle season was made tougher by most of the matches being played at Constantia ill order to give the new top fields a chance to get established and therefore there was very linIe support for the I t Tewn. The lack of support was most disappointing and wc hope thaI there is li slgJlificant improvement ne,,'! ear. W:,1lberg rugb\ is starting to establish a philosoph of" fllluung the ball wld as the seasons march on, more and more boys will come through with the kills reqUIred 10 play rugby the way that it should be pIa ed. I Wll confIdent that Wynberg certainly has the skilful players to produce top qualjty rugby and beal lhe best in the country on a consistent baSIS This IS our goal and the foundation laid down by this year's terun is going la prove to be an excellent start for the generations that follow. MWl thanks la all parenls, boys, supporters Md slafT for their contributJons thIS season and \\e look fan ard to 2003.

1st XV MATCH REPORTS KESTOUR Afrikaans Seuns Hoërskool (lost 8-51) Wynberg lost to a very good Allies team. The team did not disgrace themselves: they scnunmed extremely well although a few scoring opportunities were missed with players not passing the ball. Ashley Down scored a Ene try from the base of the scnun. Pretoria Boys' High (lost 8-39) W~mberg's midfield defence was badly exposed in the early stages of this game. The team struggled to fight back with a few earl tries scored against them.

Grey ffigh (borne-lost 13-30) A shell-shocked Wynberg struggled to bounce back after Grey scored a try in the opening minute of the match. Wynberg's midfield defence was once again exposed and Grey scored another two quick tries. Although Wynberg came back strongly in the second half, it was too late to beat the then-confident Grey leam. Paarl Boys' High (home-lost 0-39) This match was marred by plenty off the ball incidents wbich eventually led to Wynberg's downfall.

King Edward School (lost 0-12) An even, hard fought match where Wynberg had plenty of scoring opportunities. At times the team played excellent rugby but could not Enish off due to players hangmg on to the ball.

Bishops (home-lost 5-39) For the Erst twenty minutes of this game, Wynberg had Bishops under pressure with very disciplined rugby. However, Wynberg started losing concentration and allowed Bishops to play their attractive running rugby.

Drostdy (home-won 11-10) One of the besl games Wynberg played this season b beating a very good Drostdy side. The forwards laid the fowldation with exceUent ruck.ing to clinch victory.

SACS (home-lost 13-15) SACS dominated the first fifty minutes of this match, but the Wynberg fan ards started dominating lowards the end., a great performance b the whole team in the last ten minutes-Wynberg could have won this malch if they had applied themselves throughout the match. Poor defence led to easy tries by SACS. Partklown Boys' High (at False Bay-won) This match was played under floodlights-Wynberg had to pull oul all the stops lO beal a spuited Park'lown side.

Bishops scored two excellent tries in injury time. A mateh Wynberg could have won

SACS (away-drew 27-27) .. This must surely be rated as one of the most excllmg derb games to date. Wynberg had plenty of opportunities to win this game but SACS bo~~ced back each time to take the lead. A very spmted, entcrtaJning perfonnance hy both tealus resulted in a draw.

Gola, Barry-JolUl Wolfaardt., Christopher Heiberg, Barry Napier, Billy Onazawa, Luca Piemontesi The 2nd Team had the potentiaJ for a great season, however too many individuaJs took a long time to play the rugby the coaches coached. The philosophy of playillg fifleen man rugby, ball in hand and pass before contact, with the forwards dominating and allowing the backs to run at mlgles came through towards the end of the season. Too often players would opt for the contact and therefore revert to onedimensionaJ rugby-here especially too man players were guilty of making contact. At staoes during matches the team pla ed brillimll ru~by, but could not put it together for the full sixty minutes. The second match against Rondebosch at Claremont Cricket Club emphasised the potential of this 2nd Team. After losing 3-44 in their fITst encounter, they turned the score arowld b beating them 22-14 with a brillimlt perfonnance of rugby The fOf\ ards laid the foundation and provided the hacks excellent baJl. Here Wonga Matshabane (tlyhalf) varied the game extremel wdl with a combination of up and unders and skilful handling. The Rondebosch team had no answer to this superb perfonnance by the 2nd Team. The match at Bishops was a testimony that 'win at all costs' v,"as not part of this team's makeup as the had many opportunities to kick to poles, but opted to run the baJl and play rugby in an attempt to score seven-pointers. They lost this match 10-12. This team really matured towards the end of the season b playing excellent filleen mml rugby. Thanks to all the 2nd Team players for contributing to the senior squad Md making it a most enjoyable season of coaching. To all sclllor squad parents who opened their homes to host t~unng sides, thmUcyou once again-it is much apprecwt.:d.

TIle 3rd and 4th XV's both had excellent seasons, retuming a positive ratio of wins over losses. The bo s worked hard and lUlder Derek's watchful eye, played good, skilful, enjoyable rugby and were desperately unlucky to lose a fe\ of their games. It was also ditlicult la settle down into a rhythm because of the high tumover of players either through injwy or because of players being called up to the 2nd Team. The 3rd Team W.lS ably led by Tai Cronje while the 4th's had a succession of skippers who all did a fUle job until Chris Augustyn was appointed-and what a fine job he did. The teaJns played with great discipline throughout the season a.nd were always very disappointed when they lost. The most satisfying aspect of the season was the relatively good results both teruns achieved over our traditional rivals, a~ well as beating Drostdy ruld going down narrowly to Boland Landbou. I would like to ex1end my sincere gratitude to Derek Heiberg who coached the teaJns with aplomb and always had tile interests of the boys at heart. Thanks, also, for helping to build an out!:.1anding team spirit by taking the teams to grunes at Ilrunillons and Newlands. A special thanks to Mrs Suns and her lo al and supportive (large) group of parents who I:rulle out to upport us despite poor weather al times. Last, but not least, tile players, for tIleir loyalty lO the coaches, for always being prepared to work hard and to go the extra mile.

" That talent defmitel came to the fore tIlis year and the Under 16's produced entertaining open, ruruung rugby which resulted in some excltlllg tries. The developed into a formidable unit tIlis season as their results indicated. This side only lost three matches a.nd is runangst a rare breed of Wynberg rugby players who did not lose against our three arch rivals, Bishops, Rondebosch a.nd SACS. In the process they scored 58 tries a.nd tile tries were spread amongst the players wluch is all indication of the great team work that eistcd. T Jacobs (wing) scored the most tries (10), followed closely by J Snut (8) and R Talani (8). C Chase scored the most points (95). Highlights were the two great wins over Bishops, the excellent performance against Rondebosch and the Ilarrow defeat against Paarl Boys' High. TIle biggest disappointment for me \Vns defmitely tile last match against SACS aJ1d I hope the U 16' s leamed a valuable lesson from that. J Dickie-Clarke a.nd R Talotti must be congratulated for the outsta.nding job the did as captain and vice-captain.

What a great season! Onl losing one gmne throughout the whole year, this \\~dS arguabl one of the most successful seasons in the history of W)llberg, I don't trunk tht:re IS anyone aspect which made the U 1GB team so great, but rather a number of aspects. For ont!, !lIe team showed great crunaraderie and a will to win (this can be seen in the last gamc:: against SJ\CS where wc were dO""'1 5-9, playing some of the worst rugb we've played all sc!aSon, but the team pulled together in the last movement of the ear to provide Zahier lsaacs with a try to win the game 10-9). The team was also provided with e pert coaching from Mr Polden, Mr Galant and Mr Mauritz, who we thank for all the \visdom they shared, and lhe laughs we had together. The onc thing I believe contributed most to our success \'v'aS the relaxc::d attitude of the team who were alwa s read for ajoke mId to have fun. Some of the most memorable games of the season for me were obviousl the last games where we adtieved the "double treble" (beating ACS, Rondebosch and Bishops each twice). Another memorable game was against Gre PE where wc \\'on 21-19 in a hard-fought close encounter.

a team braai where good attendance from the players showed the spirit that was in the team. As a coach, I could not have wished for a better team of a group of young disciplined rugby players. I have no doubt that some of these boys will end up in the fust team in the coming years.

Yet that is not the case. nlis group lacks confidence in their ability as losing has become a habit that they easily accept. The season started very poorly with players easily staying away from practices. but as the season progressed. they lost because they expected to lose, yet there were passages of play that were of a high standard. After spendiJlg a long and difficult season with this group, I do think that as they mature as boys and players, they will realise that to achieve, requires commitment and hard work, yet they do have the ability. [ [ook forward to watching their progress as players (and as a team) as they leave their mark on WBHS. Thank you to all the parents who faithfully supported their sons through this difficult season.

TIlere is a lot of talent in this group and they have a great future ahead of them at Wynberg. However, it became a frustrating season in that the team did not always produce what it was capable of. As individuals they tended to produce the goods. but t.:ouldn·t alwnys translate it into a great team perfonnance and therefore lost many games that should have been won. When lhey combined well, they produced some memorable perfonnances and were practically unstoppable. Boland Landbou, the [lfst games against Bishops and SACS, lhe second half against Paul Roos and the game against Bellville are the games that spnng to II1llld. These were lht! highlights of the season. However. there were also rt!al lowlights: OF Malan, Bishops in the third term and the last game of Ule season against SACS. The team eventually played 19 matches. won 7. lost 9 and dre\ ~. This record does not do UlI justice to the talent Ulat is available in this team. They are easily capable of having Ull lUlbeaten season ne,,1 year. The forwards can be awesome when they put their minds to it Ulld have the ability to destroy the opposition. However, whenever the ball spread wide the pack tended to split up and lose roeu. The backs improved a great deal as the sl.!ason progressed with a number of players showing the potenual to go rar i.n the game. However. \ hat the backs lacked was confidence and a couple of players who think the game. Most of the backs just played the game without analysing or thinking ahout it, I e. trying to make the correct decisions. Nevertheless. Under 14 rugby is not about winning, hut about enjo 1Ill.!ntand developing skills. I.n this area I can say the season was a success. 111ey appeared to enjoy themselves and I think every player can say that he is a better player now thUll when the season started. Lastly, thUll!< you to Ule parents ror their lo al support at all matches. It was great seeing so mall or you lherl: every Saturday. Wynberx

The UI4B's went through their ups and downs this year and to be fair they did have more ups than downs. TIley are one of the most talented U 14 teams I have ever coached and at times this season produced some rughy that left both Mr van Schalkwyk and me in awe. However, tlle team was very t:rratic and when they didn't feel like playing they did not perfonn well. On the otller hand, when they did feel like playing, Uley produced not only good rugby but some outstanding results. Some highlights were tlle wins agaulst Rondebosch and Bishops, where the team not only played good rugby but showed some guts and detennination too. The Bishops WUl In the second tenn particularly stands out, not just because they beat us convincingly in lhe retum match but also as we came back from 10-0 down at half time to win the match 14-10. Anotl1er highlight for me wa~ Ull.!last match of U1Cseason agaulst SACS when we played some of our best numing rugby, scoring 8 tries Ulld ending 00- the season on a high note. There are many talented players in this team and I am looking forward to seeing more than a couple of tllcm run out UI a first team jersey in the nol too distmll future. I will also watch their results wiUI particular interest over the next two ears because if Ult:y piu the rugby both Uley mld I know Ulcy t.:an play, Uley will he unbeatable.

It is often said that the strength of a particular sport school is not measured by the success of the 1st team, but by the number of boys participating in the sport. Over the years, Wynberg has made a

significant contribution to squash in the Western Province, and I am pleased to be able to report lhal this remains the case. During the year we lielded three teruns in the Under 19 league and five teams ill the Under 15 league. A number of our boys were selected to represent the province at the various age group tournaments. At both seruor and junior level, most boys play squash as a second sport. This is to be encouraged ill the development of the boys, but it does mean that

Wynberg Boys' High. 'chool Magazine 2002 - 137 -

the top players really have to be committed and disciplined in their approach. The nature of the game requires that the boys remain fit and constantly look to improve their O\VT\game. TraJlUng can ~e the fonn of two or three on a court at the same tllne or simply working alone on court. With hard work and discipline, success must surely follow. W}l1berg squash enjoyed reasonable success during the past year. Although failing to represent the province in the wUlUal Top Schools tournament.. we did manage to reach the finals of the schools knockout in both lhe Under 19 and Under ISage groups losing both finals to Rondebosch. In the Top Schools knockout we lost la Rondebosch 4-2. In the Under 19 league our Ist team ended second in the Super league. In the Und~ IS l:ague,. the ~ ISA team won the A league-this despite bemg WIthout our top player who injured himself badly during the interprovincial toumament earlier in the year. This unfortunate incident was to cost us dearly in Ule knockout.

It was a constant battle to get the whole team to practise as two were in the 1st Xl hockey who arranged their practices at tile same time as ours! De pite this, we ended up as the ruruler-up III the vanaus competitions at Ist learn level. Rondebosch were just too strong for us at the top of the order. Of the two top players: Mooradd had trouble maintaining his fonn due to injwy in the middle of the season and Haley never produced his best as he hardlv went on court between matches. Mark Rlchru-ds and Mark Coram. however, made great progress during the season. In several matches the pressure was on them to win and. apart from in the k.nockout matches against Rondebosch, they responded well. They both represented Westem Province B and. with a group of talented jwtiors coming through, should ensure iliat WBHS quash is in good hands next season One highlight was a very close game against

Our junior tearns enjoyed success tllroughout the variOLIS leagues. It is pleasing to see ilie large number of boys playing the sport at this level. and this augurs well for the sport in future years. Practices were well attended and it was particularly encouraging to see the improvement as the season progressed. At the top level both Rudi Willemse and Tom MaJUl impressed. Rudi missed ilie second half of the season as a reslut of hls injury. but he has nevertheless established himself as a force at this level. Tom has worked hard at his game with noticeable success. He will have to work hard at his fitness in the years ahead. Matthew chon[rucht has tlle potential to be a great pia er, as has LuqmawI Mooradd. but inconsistency was a feature of their perfonnance, leading to ilieir dO\VT\filJl on certain occasions.

The latter is a 40-strOllg group under Mrs Joy Goodwin who are most reluctant to give up their non-competitive status, yet a ladder is placed on the wall of the pavilion each Saturday without any real challenge to its order after the flfst outing. The junior reserves, largely coached by stooges Patrick Durkin and Richard Lawrence (fITst tenn) and by Fraser Boyd and David Cutler (fourth tenn), were as adamant about their non-league status, frequently of the truant nature and apt to play games other than tennis if the opportunity presented itself.

LEAGUE TENNIS The nwnber of Grade 8 league matches dwindled this year, with an extremely wide variation in standard of the opposition. During the fourth tenn the Grade 8's were absorbed into the senior leagues, with the top Grade 8 junior, Oscar Nauhaus, securing the nwnber two berth in the first tearn. The group was fortwlate to have the services of Gary Michelson as their coach, with Gary also coaching the senior teruns during the fITSttenno As can be seen from the results of the league tearns, the tennis section has managed to hold its Wynberg

1st TEAM REPORT Fi rst term results: Westerford, won 5-1; Rondebosch Boys' High 'B' 4-2; Fish Hoek Secondary High School 3-3; SACS 4-2; Bishops 0-6; Bergvliet 5-1. Wynberg did well to win four of their matches against teruns of similar strength, partly due to our slightly greater depth, but mostly to the a very positive, fighting approach. Mark Wade in Grade lO must be conunended on his good wins at nwnber four and KlopstralWade were a gutsy second doubles combination, often winning matches vital to the tearn. Dylan Hilder improved a great deal, with some good wins at nwnber two, while Craig Rutherfoord achieved his fine results at number one, usually against fellow provincial squad players.

Fourtb term results: Tygerberg 3-3 (6-7); UK Schools 2-1; Bishops 0-6; OF Malan 0-6; Stellenberg 1-5. The fourth tenn saw the team without its matrics by a tennis union ruling. There was thus a baptism of fire for our three Grade ID's, Mark Wade, Anton Dodds and Michael Brits and Grade 8 Oscar Nauhaus, pitted against some of the toughest tearns in the league. They could have been entered into a lower league, but overall advice weighed in favour of remaining in the premier league, where they would gain from the experience of playing against boys who spend more than ten hours a week on tennis courts with coaches, in provincial squads and in club premier league teams. FuU marks to the boys for once again displaying what must surely be a characteristic WBHS fighting spirit. Although not winning anyone of the four matches, the 3-3 match score but 6-7 set score agamst a similarly young Tygerberg team provided a great deal of inspiration. Against Stellenberg Anton and Mark had a memorable first couple doubles win, while Oscar Nauhaus still cannot believe that he could miss a sitter of a smash on his match point. The boys also had an outing against three UK touring teams, Bradford, Radley and King's College,

losing only to the latter. We bid farewell to and salute Craig Rutherroord, who has played in the fIrst team as our provincial representative since Grade 8. Extremely modest, quiet and disciplined, Craig has been a tower of strength as a conslaJlt source of inspiration by his courageous play. His consistency and ability to keep the ball in play has seen many an opponent throw in the towel in sheer desperation. Apart from club tennis and regular WP squad training, Craig has always played in most of the major temus tournaments arowld the country, which is what our boys need to do to be able to stay in the ring with the best. Our thanks go to our coaches, MIs Goodwin, MIs Steel, Ms Santi and Messrs Pretorius (new to the tennis fold as coach of the mighty 3rds) and Coombe (I st team frrst tenn) for their enthusiasm. Professional Brandon Walkins-lones coached lhe first three teams during the fourth tenn, putting the boys through their paces ill military style, while Chris Potterton contiJlUed his early momlllg free coaching for our top eight players at 6h45 on Friday mornings-what Old Boy commitment!

At [lfSt glance, Ule team's statistics for the season would seem to suggest that UUs year, waterpolo has been a poor perfonner for the school. In fact though, Ule waterpolo side has been a shilling example of how hard work and a true determination can make a success of any season. The hard work began very early in December wiUl pre-season holiday training and a relatively new

ilillovation, the pre-season camp. The idea behind holding a three-day camp has been to generale team spirit with all the boys staying together at hostel and also provide a platform where the boys have a full three days to prove their abilities. This was the frrst time where the seeds of the team's magnificent spirit were planted. The frrst game against SACS was a disappointing affair with tbe boys going down 3-10. Soon after, they lell for the Vides tournament in East London. It was probably this toumament that provided the vital spark. Our team played superbly U1TOUghoutand gained a great confidence boost by beating arch-rivals Selborne, probably Ule form team of Ule tournament, 1-0. It was very disappointing la have been denied a spot ill the semi-finals by Selborne due to a poorer goal difference. NoneUleless, the tour proved a great success, boUl in the pool and in terms of spirit and bonding a group of twelve individuals into a fiercely proud and detennined team. It was with renewed vigour that Ole rest of the domestic season was approached. The initial loss to SACS was overturned 8-6 and Rondebosch was beaten 8-7. The only black marks was two losses to season champions Bishops-once during the league and once in tile Mazinter cup serni-fmals. With these good results behllld us, it was time to adjourn for Ole winter season before getting together to prepare for Ule prestigious SACS tournament. Unfortunately, Cape schools have tended to be at a disadvantage during this tournament because of a lack of winter training facilities. While Bishops, Rondebosch and SACS have addressed this problem by heating their pools, Wynberg had been lell behind in this regard and we were forced to train in poor facilities at Ule Wynberg military base. While the boys were certainly fit, Uley lacked match preparation going into the tournament, which afJected us greatly. It was inconceivable that the oOler Cape schools could have improved so much over a winter season as to be amongst the top eight schools at Ule tournament while Wynberg suITered Ule ignominy of being in tile bottom four . Performances against top opposition towards Ule end of the tournament were testament to tile unrealised potential of the side. It was disappointing that we

Wynberg Boys' High School Magazine 2002 - 147-

were Wlable, through no fault of our own, to put in a better showing at the tournarnent. Despite a poor SACS tournament, the boys approached the second-half of the league with confidence. Rondebosch was beaten 6-5 and the highlight of the season was the massi ve 8-2 drubbing of Bishops. This season has been successful in its own right, but perhaps more importantly, has laid a fOWldation for next year. For a tearn that was written otT early on in the season in some quarters, they have gelled as a wut and shown how tearn spirit and heart can win through even in the face of unfavourable odds. The yOWlgsters in the side have learned a great deal, th.ey have grown in confidence and there is sufficient talent in the 2nd and U 16 learns to ml the gaps left by the leaving matrics. Provided the same fighting spirit can be maintained, this side can only go [rom strength to strength next year and I wish Doug Schooling, next year's coach, all the best. Finally, a few words of thanks: • to the parents, for their never ending support. • to Mr John Huggett for his superb communication and friendly mrumer. • and lo the boys for their excellent behaviour, commitment and great spiril, all of which has made this season memorable.

Rondebosch and Bishops, but beating SACS in a nail-biting finale to the season. Despite' certain setbacks, the second side, ably led by Gareth Baerecke and Chris !-liggins, were tireless in their etTorts al practices and during matches. Their detennination and will saw them through many lough times in the pool. I wish the boys who will be challenging for first terun places next year the very best of luck and, likewise, to those boys who will no longer appear in Wynberg colours, the best for their future endeavours. Many thanks to the boys and their parents for the frultastic support that I have enjoyed and which has contributed to a fantastic season's waterpolo. This side has been a pleasure to coach.

It was encouraging to see such spirit and passion for the grune arnongst the 3rd and 4th Teruns. This was evident by the tumout of many keen players at the practices. We were never short of players when it came to selecting the sides for the weekend matches. TIle tearns fared well overall against several opponents. They showed the ability to work well as a learn. They went into each grune with gust. The 3rd Tearn were led by the more than capable Matthew Hogarty. He showed leadership and expertise when getting the learn together to work through moves before the game. The tearn showed their grit and character when coming back in the last tenn to beat Rondebosch and SACS. Gareth Edwards captained the 4Ul Terun ruld led the way as far as his zest for the grun!! of waterpolo was concerned. Unfortwlately they only had the

This spirited side was dynamic in the swimming pool. The swimming speed a.nd quick reaction time of players like Darron Fernandez and Shane Gurney were a great asset to the side.

U14A &: U14B WATERPOW Coach: Mr D Schenck I have been most impressed this year with the level of commitment of the boys of the UI4 waterpolo division. Extra pmctices were arranged and the players turned up en masse without complaint (especially in the cold water early on) to improve their fitness and bond as a tearn. The skill level of the team was particularly high but at times they were let down by fitness and vision. The fitness problem was sorted out as the season went by and I am quite sure that the vision problem will disappear as the boys grow older and understand more of the game. Players need to realise that coaching is a twoway thing-it is not just the coach giving but also the players who must think through their game and try to understand where things are going wrong and

what they can do to rectify mistakes. I am confident that this team will prove to be a formidable .force in years to come. The matches against the powerful Bishops side this year are an indication of what they can do when they put their minds to it. Although all four garnes were lost, much ground was made up and Bishops had to fight all the way to grind out victory in the last two games. The characters in the side made coaching and matches worthwhile and my sincere thanks go to them for the Lighter side of practice. Justin van Winkel was a star and provided a level of coaching that gave the boys a hint of what Ist Team will be like in years to come. His knowledge of the sport and interaction with the boys are things they won't forget. Wynberg has a good foundation here for years to come and I look forward to big things from these guys.

.SHOOTING Teacher-in-Charge: Mr J Louw Club Captain: Aaron Randle To achieve any measure of success in the discipline of Bisley shooling takes lots of time and demands dedication and skill from those taking part. Shooting has become a sport that should have no long breaks so we have worked hard at it all year round. During the [lfSt lent\, 68 pupils attended trials and eventually 17 fonned the [mal squad for the year. Eight pupils regularly represented the school and six qualified for shooting COlOUIS:Gregory Hesom, Rudi Greef, Matthew Hull, Chase Richards, Ryron Gordon and Richard Dutton. Aaron Randle and Simon Thewussen were awarded Blues. Simon TheunissCl\, the only matric in the group, was ranked no. Il in WP and received the award not only based on scores but for outstanding diligence and discipline and the fine example he sel for the whole squad. He was the only pupil to shool in cve!) competition. Aaron Rondle, Grade II, was the Club Captain and champIOn shol of Wynberg for 2002. He was ranked no. 8 in WP. Aaron gave a lol of lime to shooling and is a fine example of how dedication to detail can bring success over the years. . ~e started oIr the year having intensive shooting clinICS \ here we concentrated on the basics and fmer

points of being a good shot. The range was open every afternoon for practice and OUI competitions were shot on Fridays and some Saturdays. The seluor team took part in 12 compellllollS. We only lost one of these agamst Grey PE, il) the arulUal Grey/WBHS shoot. Out of a total of 1600, Grey scored 1484 and WBHS !480-the narrowest of margins. "This was the closest competition we had during the year. The summer and winter shoot against the Old Boys was most enjoyable and they ~id much better during the second competition, losmg by a much smaller margin. The culmination of the shooting year is the WP Bisley held at Atlantis. Our whole senior team represented the South Peninsula Schools Shooting League. We did very well this year and WBHS was placed third in the senior schools competition, los1l1g to Calvinia and OutClUqua, but happily beating all closer opposition. Our team raised not onl moral but also their personal standards during the Bisley shoot: Aarou Randle 93%, Simon Theunissen 92,75%, Matthew Hull 91,5%, Richard Dutton 90,9%, Chase Richards 90,4% and Byron Gordon 89%. We have had a full 2002 and face a heaVier schedule for 2003, the first WP shoot is 111 April Thank you for a very good year. I look fon ard to many aspiring shots to try out during the first tenT\, but as Aaron Randle said: "Shooting is a sport thal chooses you!"
